Shall we write comments on this in different colors? Or have a phone call soon to check in ?
DORIA: Great news ! So glad final Shelburne went well and that sound worked. Yes, camera adds attention to event , somehow....
Great that all enjoyed the day, know would be true for audience and hope especially for tellers? !
ALL: I need to get Arts Council Grants done! after listening to Arts Council workshop think the best idea is to write a grant to do 3 themed story slams in Cambridge...and get aired on CCTV. Comments? Thoughts? Ideas? We thought the storybridge idea too huge and tricky to pull off with our small numbers. And if we could create a track record of getting and doing a good job with a grant - this is VERY valuable. Still researching how to do a video contest. Our grant must be done by OCT 15th. Will NEED resumes from you all if you want to be listed as staff who organize ?
NEWS: Meanwhile the city o Cambridge wide storytelling festival we heard of is confirmed and in the works for the FALL of 2011. We just heard from Library people last FRI - not a peep since then - they are setting up new library and not into communication.
STU DORIA AND ANDREA:
Had an idea - since we are invited through Andrea and there is always an open mic at Haley House Cafe How about making OCT 29th THURS at 7 ish ( Andrea was tapped by the organizer) the next mouthoff ? Open mic feature has the same theme as the slam - do we think we can make ? - and is a good place for story. It is just a few days later than slam so would work for people who feel left out?
ALL: Continuing to promote slam - I have 120 flyers for the slam to put up at schools of theater, voice , performance - to start. Was thinking to drive some young friends and have them jump out and post stuff while I keep motor running. Also have emails for profs of theater too. We should keep sending out posters ( pdfs at massmouth.ning at Rules) and PR kits as much as possible - and will need tp make follow up calls next week?
STU AND DORIA:
Andrea had the idea of student discount at the door I liked it - $2 with ID and extra $1 if they write a 6 word story ( flash fiction) and put on a card to be picked and read at random during show - Example "For Sale. Baby shoes. Never worn." - Ernest Hemingway Attached in email is a bunch of a 6 word stories, some better than others - we can seed the bag with these one ? also a link to 50 word stories.... http://tangents.co.uk/50words/ Other ideas? Your opinions?
ANDREA - did we send the link to the judges ? We can also send them the form
(attached in email) Comments or changes first ?
ALL:
Wondering, were story peeps at Shelburne into the slam ?
What is your sense, everybody ? Is excitement building-
Will we need to call just about everybody and invite them personally?
more later!
all the best,
Norah
