SUMMARY:Celebrate the 50th episode of ArtsAbly in Conversation - June 13 at 6 pm EST

SUMMARY:4th Annual Humanities Podcasting Network Symposium: Best Practices
DESCRIPTION:For this fourth iteration of the HPN Symposium\, on November 8 and 9\, 2024\, we find ourselves interrogating\, engaging with\, and pushing the boundaries of the concept of  “best practices” and how it relates to humanities podcasting. Our initial inquiry was born out of a discussion about the need to counteract worker invisibility and exploitation on university campus podcast teams. But this raised a larger\, thornier debate: Are there other agreed-upon principles of podcast-making and audio creation?  If so\, have they emanated from particular forebears and models\, or sprung up out of habitual creation like unwritten\, but widely understood\, common laws? Are there contexts peculiar to podcasting that deserve their own careful ethical treatment or understanding? \nDiane Kolin\, founder and director of ArtsAbly\, will be part of the discussion panel in Session 2: Best Practices for Podcasting as Artistry and Craft\, on November 8 at 10:30 AM EST. You can find below the full program of the symposium and the registration link below. The recording of the session will be shared later. \nFull program of the 4th HPN annual symposium \nRegistration link on Eventbrite

SUMMARY:PODIUM 2024 - May 16-19\, 2024\, in Montreal
DESCRIPTION:PODIUM 2024\, Canada’s national bilingual choral Conference and Festival\, is the top meeting place for Canada’s choral and group singing arts sector and community. Presented by Choral Canada and Alliance chorale du Québec\, in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal\, on the unceded traditional territory of the Kanien’keha:ka\, as well as online through our conference app. PODIUM 2024 will bring together hundreds of delegates and thousands of singers and audience members from across the country and beyond who are passionate about group singing. \nArtsAbly will be present onsite for the four days and will animate one of the virtual conferences/talks about accessibility and disability in choirs. \n———— \nAbstract: \nWhat does it mean to have an accessible choir? During our life\, we all experience a situation during wich we face a certain level of limitation\, that might be caused by an accident or an illness. Getting older or having a disability also comes impairment. In that situation\, it is frequent that people stop some of their activities. In the case of choirs\, weekly rehearsals and concerts might be tiring or difficult to achieve for someone who experience a limitation. However\, as stated by Choral Canada and the European Choral Association’s shared Benefits Of Singing public awareness campaign\, singing improves physical\, psychological\, social and educational aspects of choir members. How to reconcile disability and accessibility in our choirs? Whether you want to share your own concerns as a singer or you want to improve the accessibility of your choir\, join this session for a conversation about disability and accessibility in choral singing with Diane Kolin\, founder and director of ArtsAbly. \nMore info on https://www.podium2024.ca/
