The “Brief Description of your Act” section is added to encourage you to give us something to advertise about your group – think “informative” if you put something there: mention your Grammy nominations; your number of days touring last year; the tv, internet, and movie credits; or the philosophical point of view that informs your work; what about your career in arts and entertainment makes it worth the effort. That sort of thing.
I have produced the Jamboree since 1988 because I believe face to face communication is critical to building ensemble in the performing arts. Most contact between artists and presenters is formulaic – promo packs and demo disks have a sameness; rejection letters and contracts are both pulled from last year’s folder on the computer. But when a presenter sees the animation of a performer talking about their work or when an artist hears a presenter talk about the people she hopes to entertain, they can begin to create something together. The Jamboree is where we get the actual face time to do that creating.
As always, call or send a note with questions!
Looking forward to seeing you all in January.
