Now six months into the COVID-19 pandemic, the performing arts field has weathered enormous upheaval and loss---from an avalanche of cancellations and rescheduling, to the loss of revenue, income, jobs, health and safety.

Yet crisis often brings innovation and clarity. Together with colleagues across the field, we are forging new paths in programming, partnerships, technologies and communities. Additionally, artists, producers, agents, funders and presenters are calling our field out (and inviting us in) to address all that wasn’t working, wasn’t equitable, and wasn’t sustainable long before the pandemic struck and that was made all the more evident since the pandemic began.

In response, performing arts professionals are mobilizing to advocate for new ways to operate and do business that will advance equity and sustainability. Using a social justice lens, they are developing new strategies, resources, guidelines, models and support that will drive transformation in the field.

In partnership with Sozo Creative and sponsored by Rena Shagan Associates and Performing Arts Readiness, join APAP for another installation of APAP BREAK/ROOM Conversations on Tuesday, September 15th , 2020 from 1pm - 5pm EDT.

APAP BREAK/ROOM Conversations is a unique series of virtual dialogues with leaders across our field---artists, presenters, producers, agents, managers, funders and other cultural workers---launched in response to the current crisis. Industry voices engage in discussions to provide insight and thinking about the current crisis, stabilization, recovery and transformation. APAP is grateful to The Wallace Foundation, for their support of our work to provide information, resources and programs to help the field navigate the COVID-19 crisis.

Registration is limited to the first 1000 registrants. The event will also be livestreamed on Facebook Live.
