Summary:
In this episode, Adrian Ellis speaks with Jesse Cameron Alick, about his recently published study, commissioned by the Sundance Institute, based on extensive interviews of artists, arts administrators and thought leaders. The focus is the state of live performance as we 'emerge from the cave' of Covid. They discuss the key findings and themes of the study – particularly the skepticism that artists interviewed expressed about the the commitment of larger cultural institutions to artists, to their local communities, and to equity and inclusion.
After, Adrian is joined by fellow host Criena Gehrke to discuss key takeaways. They discuss the moral, political, economic... and artistic! – responsibilities that 'anchor institutions' need to balance.
