It's 2019, a new year and time for reconciliation. Amidst the general ethos of hate penetrating our country, we're choosing #AnotherWay. The Town Hall forum asks the community to speak up in an effort to build a better tomorrow for each of its participants. We're focusing on creating a sustainable future for the Arts and we want to hear from all artists. Please join the conversation on how we can collectively create a paradigm shift around the Arts as an industry. #ArtsMeetsBiz All artistic disciplines welcome: music, theatre, dance, visual, multi-media, etc.
Topics:
• #Exploitation (#MeToo & more) in the Arts
• Business of the Arts

He has worked as a full-time music professional since moving to NYC in 1998. As a producer, arranger and musician, Swang founded RSP Experiment with some help from fellow NYC musicians in 2005.

Acclaimed artists the world over have come to rely on his expertise and imagination in their collaborations with him.

"Swang is a baaad man! You can't make music with him and not become better at what you do..." -Shuggie Otis

Her work with the Center includes participation in a mediation training video, “Saving the Last Dance: Mediation Through Understanding,” produced in collaboration with Harvard Law School’s Program on Negotiation.
Jackie’s work in dispute resolution was preceded by a 20-year career in modern dance and theater.
