Welcome to the 37th Annual Performing Arts Exchange! Dear Friends and Colleagues, On behalf of the staff and board of South Arts, welcome to Music City for the 2013 Performing Arts Exchange! This year we are pleased to offer a special preconference—Presenting 101—free for full-conference registrants. Presenters new to the field will learn the essentials of programming and artistic planning, contracts and negotiations, production logistics, marketing and promotion. In addition, we’ll also bring you new opportunities for networking, business and professional development, showcasing and more. We have developed an exciting program of events featuring inspirational artists and speakers, and workshops that address your priority issues. You’ll also have plenty of time to connect with your peers to share solutions, innovations, and your vision of the future of the performing arts. From the opening reception at the historic Ryman Auditorium to the Thursday brunch in the Marketplace, PAE is packed with value. We urge you to take advantage of as many of the conference activities as possible and make that value last throughout the year. Thank you for coming to PAE 2013!

Tuesday, September 24 9:00 – 10:15 a.m. PD@PAE Workshops continued

“I Don’t Know if I Can Sell That” – Building Relationships to Put Great Performances in Front of Young People – Room 107

Do you see work you love and know would be wellreceived if you could just get the audience in the door? Do you create or represent work and are tired of hearing presenters say “I don’t know if I can sell that”? Getting around this obstacle requires a partnership among artists, agents and presenters, plus further relationships between presenters and communities to build an appetite for the work. Join us to discuss strategies to engage and build our young audiences. Faculty: Sherri Leathers, Simon Shaw, Paige Hernandez, Kyle Arnett

Engagement Strategy Through Social Media: Finding the Stories that Need Telling – Room 102

Implementing a proactive plan for audience engagement via social media is an essential part of any successful communications strategy. In this session we will identify the promises we’ve made to our audiences and learn how to form the essential engagement strategy to deliver on those promises. The new Return on Investment (ROI) will be a Realization of Influence. Influence is measured in actions - subscriptions, donations and other affirming actions. We’ll start the session with our own stories, the ones worth telling. Attendees will identify their audience types based on engagement rather than demographics and walk away with a tool to help identify the stories these audiences want to hear and to tell. Faculty: Nancy VanReece

Discounting Strategies That Influence Behavior and the Bottom Line – Room 104

Is your discount ticketing strategy training your patrons to wait for a deal? Are you using third party discount ticketing services in a way that will bring you future rewards and not eat into your bottom line? In this session, we will explore a variety of case studies and best practices for arts and cultural organizations interested in smart and effective discounting strategies. Faculty: Ron Evans

Doin’ It on the Road: An Artist’s Guide to Touring & Community Engagement – Part 1 – Room 103

Moving your work beyond its local community and audience is both a creative and business prospect. This workshop demystifies the touring process and is designed to convey basic information for artists who are at a beginning point of touring regionally and nationally – beyond 100 miles from their home. The session will cover a variety of topics including using promotional tools effectively; learning how to cultivate relationships with prospective presenters and the benefits of building strategic partnerships; as well as what happens after an artist is booked, with a discussion on the responsibilities of the artist and presenter. Faculty: MK Wegmann, Linda Parris-Bailey

Making Artistic ¢ents IV: Nuts and Bolts of Contracts and Riders – Room 104

Everyone in this industry deals with contracts and riders, some more complex than others. This session will examine best practices of agents, managers and presenters who use proprietary documents, and how these various viewpoints come together to form a final agreement between parties. We will examine several documents and gain insight as to how riders are constructed and conflicts are resolved. This will be a continuation of NAPAMA’s very popular and successful “Making Artistic Cents” workshops, a hands-on session dealing with everyday industry issues. Faculty: Michael Blachly, Laura Colby, Mark Smith, Maureen Shallcross

Arts & Artists, Ideas & Education: A Roundtable with Paul Kwami & Barry Scott – Room 102

Right Sizing the Arts: Understanding the Human Dimensions of 21st Century Markets

For most of the past century, arts enterprises have pursued a strategy of growth. In this, the arts have embraced new technologies, diversified their missions, and responded to market demands. But today markets are no longer discrete segments defined by demographics and tastes. Instead, markets are conversations. New technologies have allowed people to connect through and communicate about the arts on a human scale where individuals seek authenticity and conversation above all else. The music industry has been on the front lines of this transformation with many older institutions and organizations struggling to stay relevant. Their stories will animate this opening plenary session of PAE which includes a Q&A with Dr. Tepper. Dr. Tepper is associate director of the Curb Center for Art, Enterprise, and Public Policy, and associate professor in the department of sociology at Vanderbilt University.

Showcase Performance by The Red Hot Chilli Pipers – Booth #500

It’s Rock. It’s Bagpipes. It’s Bagrock. AC/DC meets Robert Burns. It’s The Red Hot Chilli Pipers—an 8-piece ensemble of pipers, guitarists, keyboards, and drummers – who have been rocking the world from New York to Beijing to Melbourne and everywhere in between with musicianship of the highest order and a passion for pipes that will leave you breathless. Formed in 2002, The Chillis have fast become a global phenomenon, taking their signature ‘Bagrock’ sound to the masses with their unique fusion of rocked up Bagpipes and clever covers of popular songs from all genres. Their trademark sound includes traditional pipe tunes – “Amazing Grace” and “The Hills of Argyll” (done Chilli-style, of course!) – and contemporary anthems from Queen, Coldplay, Snow Patrol, Robbie Williams and AC/DC. From theatres and performing arts centers to huge festivals and top corporate and A-list celebrity clients, the Chillis have been playing to packed houses and standing ovations night after night.

This workshop demystifies the touring process and is designed to convey basic information for artists who are at a beginning point of touring regionally and nationally – beyond 100 miles from their home. The session will cover a variety of topics including using promotional tools effectively; learning how to cultivate relationships with prospective presenters and the benefits of building strategic partnerships, as well as what happens after an artist is booked, with a discussion on the responsibilities of the artist and presenter. Faculty: MK Wegmann, Linda Parris-Bailey

Unlocking the Potential for Forever Gifts: Your Loyal Donors & Audience Members Are Key – Room 108

Planned gifts have enriched visual and performing arts organizations and arts foundations throughout history. We’ve all read an example of an incredibly generous bequest with a twinge of jealously and wondered, “Why couldn’t my organization receive a gift like that?” The answer is, “It could.” And, you can increase the likelihood of it happening. Learn how you can start, restart, or take your efforts to encourage planned giving to your organization to a whole new level. A few insights and resources to do just that await you in this session.

Consumer Psychology: Influencing Audience Behavior Through Science – Room 104

Consumer psychology: the study of why people buy. Ever wonder what human behavioral factors create a sellout house? Or why humans can’t help but gravitate toward viral messages that are part of a group conscience? In this session, we’ll get into the human mind to discuss behavioral economics, and use hard science to explore what influences people’s decisions to buy tickets, attend, and share their experience via online and in-person social channels. Faculty: Ron Evans

Dailey & Vincent is one of the most reputable and elite Bluegrass acts in America, carrying with them a highly acclaimed signature sound and live concert performance. The two-time Grammy nominees have amassed an impressive array of honors, including three consecutive IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) Awards for “Entertainer of the Year” and three awards for “Vocal Group of the Year,” respectively; a 2011 Dove Award for Bluegrass Album of the Year, and 40 other industry honors and awards. Dailey & Vincent perform over 115 shows per year to sold out crowds, and have one of the most loyal fan bases in all of music. Based in Philadelphia, Brian Sanders’ JUNK is known for its ingenious use of found objects and clever inventions that bridge the gap between dance and physical theater. Sanders’ choreography blends traditional dance theater with an inventiveness and physicality that gives reason for critics to hail JUNK as “Philly’s most imaginative perpetrator of dare-devilish physical theater” and declare Sanders as “the city’s most exciting choreographer.” The troupe’s shows are an exhilarating feast of exciting physicality and creativity, elegantly served up with beauty and wit. Dance Magazine cites Sanders’ work as “accessible, technically flawless, and thrilling comic dance turns.” Trout Fishing in America is the longstanding, four-time GRAMMY-nominated musical partnership of Keith Grimwood and Ezra Idlet. A willingness to at once make fun of our most annoying daily habits, then to touch our hearts with tender and passionate images of family life is what makes the connection between Trout Fishing in America and its audiences so compelling and poignant. “Chicken Joe Forgets Something Important” is Trout’s second children’s book/CD set, and September 3rd they released their new CD, “Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers.” Say that five times fast! “...the Lennon and McCartney of kids’ music.” - National Public Radio

Recently chosen for the 2012-2013 Ernst Stiefel String Quartet-In-Residence at the Caramoor Festival and the CMS Two Program of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, highlights of 2013-14 season include concerts at Alice Tully Hall, Pepperdine University, and a tour of Taiwan. Recent honors include First Prize at the Hugo Kauder String Quartet Competition; and First Prize in the Piano and Strings category at the 2010 Plowman Chamber Music Competition. ReVisioning 45 is an artistic project of the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company. Its purpose is to have at least 10 new dance works created for the company’s exceptional and internationally acclaimed dancers. Each work will either be created by a choreographer of international renown like Donald Byrd (choreographer for “The Color Purple”) or Ray Mercer (performed in Broadway’s “The Lion King”) or by an up and coming choreographer like Rodney A. Brown and Alvin Rangel. New dance work means new opportunities for the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company to perform and tour. New work also provides new challengers for our current assemble of dancers. Most of all, creating new dance work is what we do. It’s why we have been in business for 45 years. ReVisioning 45 stands for a new vision in honor of the company’s 45th anniversary year.
