Rexburg Cultural Arts Director Jed Platt talks about upcoming events in March, and how residents can get involved.

This week, we bring you a very special live broadcast from the podcast studio at Lodgic Everyday Community, a non-profit co-working, childcare, dining, and event space at 552 E. Market Street, in the Gateway to NuLu building (http://lodgic.org). We kick it off with Marlesha Woods, Lodgic's Equity in Arts Director, who presents their InSightFull Business Accelerator 2022-2024 cohort. The recipients of this 2-year entrepreneurial catapult include: 1. Ian Williams and Airlea Williams of Reconcile Consulting. 2. Julia Youngblood of Youngblood Harmonizing Arts, and 3. Robin Garner of Robin G. Poetry. This initiative bolsters the works of community leaders that have imparted their talents and expertise within the Louisville Metro market, and now have shifted to full-time entrepreneurship. The triadic framework of the InSightFull Business Accelerator includes: workplace wellness, visual arts, and performing arts which illuminates the symbiotic relationship among identity and belonging in and outside of the workplace. It is imperative that we critically rethink the workplace environment from a posture of people empowerment and not just production. Most of our waking hours are spent working and in many cases co-working... why shouldn't the workplace be one of the healthiest spaces we encounter? Lodgic is addressing community needs and aspirations among co-learning, co-creating, co-working and collective building through a synergized lens of mental health awareness and multi-faceted arts. The modes in which they are providing sustainable community connections is by way of community education and expression in the form of thought-leadership workshops, DEI tutorials, virtual and live events, panel conversations, art exhibits, author readings, poetry open-mics, artists-residencies, and among other access points implementing metrics that dismantle gatekeeping barriers. Listen in as we sit down with the recipients of Lodgic's Equity in Arts InSightFull Business Accelerator 2022-2024: 1. Workplace Wellness Track: Ian Williams & Airlea Williams of Reconcile Consulting (https://reconcileconsulting.com/) "Ian & Airlea are incredibly insightful individuals that will help you find your strengths and passions.

What's your favorite song lyric? How do lyrics help us connect better with God? Nate is the Arts Director at The Ridge and he shares his thoughts!

January 27-30 at the Toledo Repertoire Theatre. Winner of the 2015 Tony Award for Best Play. 15-year-old Christopher has an extraordinary brain: He is exceptional at mathematics but ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road, he detests being touched, and he distrusts strangers. Now it is 7 minutes after midnight, and Christopher stands beside his neighbor's dead dog, Wellington, who has been speared with a garden fork. Finding himself under suspicion, Christopher is determined to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington, and he carefully records each fact of the crime. But his detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a thrilling journey that upturns his world. “This adaptation by the acclaimed playwright Simon Stephens is intensely, innately theatrical; it is also funny and extremely moving…resonates with quality.” —Telegraph (London). “…just terrific…a profoundly moving play about adolescence, fractured families, mathematics, colours and lights…dazzling.” —Independent (London). “A beautiful, eloquent, dazzlingly inventive show about the wonders of life.” —Evening Standard (London).

Artists have been using the power of art to bring people together, to express complicated emotions, and to communicate across languages and cultures for millennia.  As Thriving Christian Artists, we seek to release God's transforming power through our own art in many different media.That's why I am so excited about to introduce you to Jason Leith, Arts Director and Pastor at Saddleback Church in Orange County, California to share with us about Sacred Streets, a ministry that is transforming the lives of people who are often marginalized by using art to help us see what is otherwise unseen, to expose the humanity of the disenfranchised.

The conversation continues with Season 3. Welcome to #AfterHoursAfrica S3. E2. ft Aidin Caye A brand new South African documentary, The State of the Arts – The Forgotten Industry, released to coincide with World Music Day on 21 June 2021, is a compelling snapshot of the struggles faced by some of the country's entertainment and live-performing artists during the Covid-19 pandemic and the still-ongoing lockdown restrictions. The State of the Arts Director, Adrien Conradie, aka Aidin Caye – DJ and Producer, says he was inspired to undertake the project to showcase the difficulties faced by his colleagues and friends who are reliant on live performances for the majority of their income. “At no point in the last 15 months have nightclubs legally been allowed to operate as they are seen to be high risk for the spread of Covid-19, and as much as the lockdown restrictions have eased as the time has gone by, the ability for our industry to operate has constantly been restricted, with very little support from the government.” A special episode of After Hours Africa Enjoy x

Betty Hart lives a life of intention. And that intention is what led her down the exploratory road of investigating why we, as a culture, cancel the people we love and who have had a positive impact on our lives, because they espouse something we don't agree, or may hurt us on a spiritual level. Betty proposes that compassion for those we love, and who love us back, deconstructs the practice of cancel culture, and allows for space to suffer along side someone, on their good days and bad days- allowing us an opportunity to plant seeds of love, through curiosity, and a willingness to ask questions in order to get a clearer context of what is said, or the message that is displayed. Clearly, Betty has hit a nerve with her ideas, as her TED talk has been viewed over 1 million times. This is a challenging conversation that makes room for the real reason for communication- listening to understand, and allowing everyone the opportunity to choose their own path. Betty advocates for giving space, loving, and allowing ourselves the opportunity to work and be with those who believe differently, live differently, speak differently than us.Betty also offers an inside look into how the arts were devastated by the pandemic, and brings perspective to the life of an artist and the shut down for so many on a heart, soul and financial level. Meet Betty!Betty is a theatre artist whose mission is to help create space for necessary conversations.   Through acting, directing and facilitating, Betty strives to be a change agent and a force for positivity, creativity, and collaboration.   In 2020, Betty had the opportunity to direct the Henry nominated The Scottsboro Boys for Vintage Theatre.  She also directed Josh Kroenig’s Vroom Vroom for Local Lab, which audiences never saw due to the theatre wide shut down.  Betty performed in Stories on Stage “Don’t look away: Black stories matter”.  In the “before” Betty performed in Barnum at the Fine Arts Center, Caroline, or Change at the Aurora Fox, Richard III and You Can’t Take it with you at the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, the immersive outdoor show Rausch with the Catamounts, and had the great privilege of being in The Mountaintop at the Arvada Center in 2016.In 2021, Betty directed To the Moon by Beth Kander, a powerful domestic violence awareness play for Creede Repertory Theatre and has just completed directing a devised theatrical film for the University of Northern Colorado called 2020 Speaks, which will be streamed in late April.Instagram:  @actorbettyCheck out Betty's TED talk @ https://www.ted.com/talks/betty_hart_how_compassion_could_save_your_strained_relationships?language=enSupport the show (http://www.paypal.com)

We delve into the watery depths of sea creature folklore, with a round-the-world tour of different variations on the concept of mermaids – from the Sirens of Greek mythology to the Selkies or Seal Folk of Scottish legend, and water spirits known as Mami Water, which are venerated in parts of Africa and the Americas. Not forgetting the famous fairy tale, The Little Mermaid, which has captivated the imagination ever since its publication in 1837 and was popularised by Disney in the 1980s. Joining Bridget Kendall to discuss what these ancient stories can tell us are Cristina Bacchilega of the University of Hawaii, co-editor of The Penguin Book of Mermaids; British writer, Marcelle Mateki Akita, who has written a book for children called Fatama and Mami Wata's Secret; and Lynn Barbour, founder and Arts Director of the Orkney Folklore and Storytelling Centre in the Orkney Islands in Scotland. Produced by Jo Impey for the BBC World Service. [Image: Detail from Fisherman and Mermaids in the Blue Grotto on Capri by Hermann Corrodi (1844-1905).

In this podcast, Clifford Murphy, National Endowment for the Arts Director of Folk and Traditional Arts, introduces the recently announced 2020 NEA National Heritage Fellows. This is the country's highest honor—a lifetime achievement award—for folk and traditional artists whose life's work includes both artistic excellence and efforts to sustain cultural traditions for future generations. As Murphy says in the podcast, folk art has been described as “something learned knee-to-knee.” All nine recipients of the Heritage Award serve as exemplary mentors as well as inspired artists. Murphy doesn't just discuss each artist, he also talks about each art form—whether it's dance, song, beadwork, or canoe-building—and the culture in which it's embedded. We also talk about some of the ways the folk and traditional arts field has been impacted by the pandemic and creative adjustments that folk and traditional artists have made in response to the crisis. Murphy is not only enormously knowledgeable about the folk and traditional arts, but it's clear he holds a deep love for these arts and the people and communities that create them.
