"Performance in the Archives" [Virtual Coffee Table Discussion"
April 29, 2022, 3:00 pm EDT/2:00 pm CDT/12:00 pm PDT, via Zoom
SAA's Performing Arts Section (PAS) invites SAA members, affiliates, colleagues, and friends to a discussion about the encounters, interactions, and mutual influences between the world of archives and performing arts. The panel features Lynn Garafola, Professor Emerita of Dance, Barnard College, Columbia University; Zachary Whittenburg, dance journalist and Arts Program Officer at the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation; Lela J. Sewell-Williams, archivist and the Curator of Manuscript Division at Howard University's Moorland-Spingarn Research Center; Jennie Scholick, Director of Education and Training of the San Francisco Ballet; and it is moderated by Dr. Kathy Carbone, former dancer, archivist, and Lecturer at UCLA's Department of Information Studies. The panelists will discuss hiring and working in performing arts archives or with archival collections, training archivists in performing arts archives, and the role of archives in the performing arts world.
We hope that the discussion will be of interest to GLAM professionals within and outside of performing arts archives whose work requires special training and knowledge.

This sounds like a fascinating discussion that highlights the important connection between archives and the performing arts. Preserving creative works, documenting performances, and understanding the history behind artistic movements are all essential parts of keeping cultural knowledge accessible. The range of speakers and topics covered makes this a valuable conversation for anyone interested in archives, research, or the arts. I also recently came across kids drinks at dutch bros through a recommendation and was impressed by the useful information it provides for families exploring beverage options.
This sounds like a fascinating discussion for anyone interested in archives, culture, and the performing arts. Preserving creative works and sharing historical knowledge helps keep important stories accessible for future generations. I also appreciate well-organized resources that make information easier to explore. I recently came across a useful guide for olive garden drink menu, and I was impressed by how clearly it presents details in a simple format. Similar approaches to organizing information can help improve accessibility and engagement across different fields.
