Town Hall discussion on risk and adventure @ VIDF

Anyone in town for the Vancouver International Dance Festival? This looks interesting, from the VIDF website:

Town Hall Discussion: Cultural Pluralism in the Arts

Saturday, March 12, 1- 3 pm
"Meeting at the Crossroad of Risk and Adventure"; artists and audiences in conversation

Hosted by Kokoro Dance and the Vancouver International Dance Festival
Roundhouse, Exhibition Hall

A Town Hall meeting exploring the tipping point between attraction and fear in encountering new and unfamiliar art forms. This is a unique opportunity to invite your audience, your volunteers and steadfast supporters, to engage in a frank and lively discussion on the burning question for art-makers and marketers - how do people make the journey from unengaged to curious and then to committed audience?

Featuring some of the most innovative art-makers in Vancouver. Don't miss this timely discussion facilitated by Charles Smith*

Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre
(corner of Davie and Pacific)
*Charles Smith is Artistic Director of Cultural Pluralism in Performing Arts Movement Ontario (CPPAMO) a movement of Aboriginal and ethno-racial artists working with presenters to enable audiences to access artistic expressions from diverse communities on a regular basis.

Presented by urban ink, organizer of Th'ink Tank Sessions on cultural pluralism in the arts.
