New to GigsList

2007-05-30T19:27:47Z

Hi! I'm a photographer just getting back into working as a professional. I've recently made the move to working for myself again after many years in the office world and I'm loving it. It's tough physical work, but I'm happier than I've been in a long time. A good friend of mine has connected me with a farmer's market vendor who I'm working for a few days a week and I found another market vendor on my own through CraigsList who I'll be working with at the Harmony Festival. I second photo "job" this weekend: a wedding. It started as a small task and has, of course, grown into a full formal wedding shoot, which is good and scary!

It's nice to see this kind of group on tribe. I've joined some other "tribes" about art scene networking and being an independent business, but not much going on over there.

Nice to meet everyone. Let the games begin!

Hi! Kim from SF, now in London...

2006-10-20T13:38:46Z

I dance, and am increasingly finding myself producing dance and music events with the help of a lovely network of people. Additionally, I do quite a lot of writing and create some incredibly intricate artwork, ranging from jewelry and costume designs to sculpture and sketches.

I don't know if anyone here is in the London area, but I'll go ahead and post some info on an event that's coming up in November, and if anyone has an opportunity to come and check it out that would be amazing! I'd love to meet some Tribesters in person.

Peace and Beauty,
Kim

Introducing Susan in Tulsa

2006-01-27T03:20:33Z

Hi,

I am primarily a screenwriter. I have three features in the works. But I have recently written, directed and edited a short film (in association with Oklahoma Movie Makers group), called "Papa's Gone Missing". I also have written, produced, directed, filmed and edited two others called "The Immortal Tree" and "Women's Work". I have plans in the next few weeks to write a longer short and participate in a 24 video challenge. The challenge is to write, film and edit a 5-minute or less short, based on a theme given at the time the challenge begins. I'm looking forward to that!

I joined this group because I saw an email from you, inviting women to network here. I'm happy to be here and hope there are other women in my area as well. There are not nearly enough women behind the cameras. :)

Introducing Deborah and Profile

2006-01-26T19:39:15Z

Hi Groovers

My name is Deborah Paulino and my main gigs as a producer have been live events, but I have also produced cabaret and small theater, and a little bit of video.

My current main production is http://www.gigdirectory.net which once you go there is pretty self explanitory.

It has been a long time wish of mine to work with more women and start a sharing network and recently I was reminded of that by the Bay Area Women in Film and Television seminar. So here I am and here you all are and let us see what trouble we can cause and fun we can have.

Below is my profile to give you a more detailed view of my madness.

Screenings - The Greater Circulation (2005) a film:
Vertical Pool and Red Poppy Art House
presents the San Francisco premiere of
"THE GREATER CIRCULATION" (2005; 93 min.) a feature film by Antero Alli incorporating Rainer Maria Rilke's
"Requiem For a Friend" (as translated by Stephen Mitchell).
Film clip URL: http://www.fractalvideo.com/HTML/TGCFV.html
Excerpt from the filmthreat.com review
**********************************
"Rainer Maria Rilke's "Requiem for a Friend" (via the lyrical Stephen Mitchell translation) is the heart, soul and mind of "The Greater Circulation," by Berkeley filmmaker Antero Alli. The film has a deceptively simple concept: an experimental theater company in Berkeley, California, stages a performance ritual based on the poem, and during the course of rehearsals and production the impact of the poem comes to challenge and haunt the various people involved in this endeavor. But beyond that concept is a deep, provocative and often disturbing drama which poses questions of love, art, mortality and grief with the grace and majesty of Rilke's work..simply astonishing..."

Returning for a third year after two consecutive sold-out concerts, globalFEST ˜ New York's world music extravaganza ˜ announces the line-up for what has expanded to a two-night event. The festival takes place Saturday, January 21 and Sunday, January 22, 2006 at The Public Theater, with the same 13 acts performing each night.
As in years past, globalFEST 2006 challenges audiences to re-think the parameters of world music. As the Village Voice's Carol Cooper described the first year, "Few, if any, of these acts were obsessed with the 'purity' of their music. Authenticity and purity are not the same, and if festival participants chose to bend and blend genre categories, it was only after serious study of those root musics they hoped to update or alter. If anything, the participants in Manhattan's first globalFEST proved it's possible to respect the past without being forced to preserve it forever unchanged." Isaac Guzman wrote in The Daily News, "Aside from the high quality of the artists, what's striking about globalFEST is that it does away with typical notions of what constitutes world music."
Since its 2004 launch, globalFEST has served as a beacon for international musicians hoping to boost their presence in North America. The festival seeks to showcase artists for fans and impresarios alike. Scheduled to coincide with the annual Arts Presenters conference˜a performing arts event where most North American performing arts centers and festivals book their coming seasons˜globalFEST identifies artists on the cusp of success here and gives them a springboard for further accomplishment on the touring circuit.

Online Etiquette for Arts and Media Folk (and a discount for readers)

Online Etiquette for Arts and Media Folk (and a discount for readers)

Important tips for Posters, Readers, and Moderators
By Deborah Paulino, moderator of online arts communities for 5 years.

Yeay you've just discovered that you can post notices on online message boards and discussion groups, that is so wow. Or you can't wait to respond to these great notices. Or you've been posting for a while and wondering why you are getting deleted or are not getting a response . Or you are moderating said board and it is a bit confusing, annoying, or weighing you down. The following tips are important to make the web a more useful and pleasant community place.

Ok, let's start with posting notices:

1 Keep it related to the topic, even if is a commercial ad, don't post insurance brokers or MLM's in an actors discussion, it sucks. There are other boards with folks who want to know about MLM's. Find the boards that suit your content and you will get a better response with less effort.

2 Keep your content within age limits, if it doesn't have an over 18 warning don't post adult stuff there; as there are probably kids and parents viewing and you may become the example whipping boy if the authorities track your IP address. Help create a better internet.

3 Include the contact and location in the actual notice, if it is a job state if it is paid or not. Why waste your valuable time answering questions when you can put it in the notice? Don't assume the board is all about your location or subject, it may say "San Fran Music" but this is the world wide web, with the emphasis on "world wide".

4 If you are posting a resume to a resume library, post a professional resume like any other job. Just because it is the arts doesn't mean you can get away with "I wanna be a star give me my big break", that will just get you ignored.

5 If it is a notice or article from another group or site include the link to the notice on that site, or the full web address of the group.

6 If it is a commercial ad keep it short, on topic, sweet, and descriptive, about 1 paragraph or so, no superlatives. If possible give a discount to members of the site or group you are posting to.

7 Post only once per category or board, some boards take a while before you see the message.

8 When posting images keep them under 64 k each, images must be clear and professional looking. No fuzzy happy snaps or school photos. Even if you are crew or renting out a room in your house, the industry is all about professional presentation.

9 If the site has multiple categories and you have a call for multiple categories, post a separate notice in each category for that category. That way the right folk will see and understand your message.

10 If the site has a classifieds section as well as a discussion forum, post your ad in the classifieds not the discussion forum.

11 If you are having a bad day, don't post a complaint notice. Your bad day will be clouding your judgment and writing style. Wait till next day or after, when you are safely in a good mood and your head is clear.

12 If the board has different categories, check out each category and read what type of notices are posted in each, then post your notice in the appropriate category/s.

13 POSTING IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS IS VERY RUDE. CAPITAL LETTERS MEANS YOU ARE SHOUTING, it is also difficult to read.

14 A nice way to advertise is to write a useful article and post a very short couple of lines about your business at the bottom.

Now for responding to notices:

1 Use the contact in the notice itself, don't contact the person posting the notice unless there is no other contact in the notice.

2 Don't send attachments of any sort unless they are specifically requested. Not everyone has microsoft word or excel, nor do they want it. Put all text in the body of the email.

4 If sending or posting images keep them under 64 k each. Images must be clear and professional looking. No fuzzy happy snaps or school photos. The industry is all about professional presentation.

5 Send your response only once, any more than that is unsolicited spam.

6 Follow up with a friendly hello about a week later. Some folk are really busy and sometimes welcome the reminder.

7 If it says no phone calls or drop offs it means no phone calls or drop offs. What would you think of somebody who rocked up to your desk demanding that you make them a star, on a busy day when your boss is giving you grief about deadlines?

8 If you are having a bad day, don't respond. Your bad day will be clouding your judgment and writing without you realizing it. Wait till next day or after, when you are safely in a good mood and your head is clear.

9 If posting a reply to a discussion, don't include the whole thread in the email, only the title of the post you are responding too. Else everyone gets huge long emails of stuff they have read before and can't find the new notices.

Finally... for The Moderators:

1 If you can't be civil, don't reply.

2 Make instructions clear and on the front of your site or group.

3 Commercial ads are ok if within topic, like an ad for a resource for actors and producers on an actors group. This makes your board valuable for useful info.

4 Where possible have a classifieds section, and keep the discussion separate.

5 Allow folks a links section so they can post their links, those links make your board a valuable resource.

6 Read the help files and take the time learn how to configure and manage your board before getting angry at folks. A stitch in time saves nine, aka prevention is better than cure. Plus it saves you a whole heap of angst and complaints.

7 Yes allow events, especially networking and industry events. Even if it is from another city, somebody on your board may be from or going there and want to read it. Plus it is good business sense to find out what is going on outside of your sphere.

8 Learn to decipher genuine complaints about notices, most complaints are just from folks having a bad hair day and need to bitch. Don't ban somebody unless they are posting completely off topic notices, like car insurance to a street performers group, or porn to a kids dance group.

9 Speaking of porn, if your group or board has adult talent content, like exotic dancers and models, put an over 18 warning on it. I know it isn't all porn, but some folks just have to take the wrong idea to have an excuse to bitch, so best to have warnings.

10 More about porn, if it is a kids group and somebody is posting porn stuff, immediately contact the company hosting the board or your site's server with email and web site and where possible IP addresses. Even if the message didn't get to the board. As moderators it is our responsibility to keep our boards and our web safe for younger viewers.

11 If your group has files that are auto send, don't post more than one file with the rules that are sent out to new members. More than one gets ignored. Post a reminder email with rules and instructions every now and then. Put the basics in a few words on the front of your site, board.

12 Write an article for your board every now and then, learn and write about what you are building your community for.

13 Another great place, my new favorite, to start a discussion http://gigslist.tribe.net you can post threaded discussions and photos and connect with like other minded tribes.

14 If your board is weighing you down, it is costing too much, you can't keep up with your day jobs, and/or your members keep asking questions on how to use the board: Workout ways and write clear guidelines and instructions so folks can find their own way around. Post this article in your files that go to new members, and in your links section (remember to included the author's info below).

15 If you have a board about an art form that has become a sport, like juggling or acrobatics, be prepared to accept professional arts folk posting notices on your board. Or else state that it is a sports board and not an arts board on your front page and in your guidelines.

16 If a commercial ad is on topic and offers discounts to your readers, put them and the discount details in your links list, or at the footer of your notices. This makes it even more worthwhile for folks to sign onto your board and keep reading, it is why news papers publish coupons.

This is not all but it is a good start...

And yes I have a discount for you... A secret discont of 20% off yearly subcription to Gigdirectory.net Arts and Media Classfieds. How to get the discount instructions:...
