At our Gryphon Venues Lecture Dr. Kekoa Kaluhikalani, Artistic Director, and Christina Poulton, Company Manager, walked us through the nuts and bolts of running a Fringe venue. We talked about the basics of thematic programming.
We discussed the importance of artist relations throughout the booking season and how and when to make special exceptions for an artist whose work you find valuable in fulfilling your venue's mission and furthering the goals of your programming plan.
We also discussed the history of the venue's policies as they relate to Rocket Venues.
Afterwards, Caitlin and Kathleen started work with I Heart Hamas, a socially-conscious one-woman show explaining the personal journey of Jennifer Jejeh to come to terms with her racial identity and her pilgrimage to her hometown, Ramallah.
The rest of the group got the opportunity to see her show in full later that night and were moved by her performance.
