The Lion & Pirate meets next on April 5 (kicking off national Poetry Month)! Join us for a hybrid open mic, at Art Spark Texas AND on Zoom. We will have sign up sheet for both in person and virtual performers soon. Zoom link will be posted here the day of the show.
As always, we're open to work in any genre: music, spoken word, improv, skits, storytelling, dance, poems, prose... Anything you can perform in 3(ish) minutes!
Read on for community guidelines and accessibility adventure notes!
Community Guidelines: please read the Art Spark Texas code of conduct before Lion & Pirate events: https://www.artsparktx.org/code-of-conduct/
If you are reading work, note that we use content warnings to keep this space safe and welcoming. Please use them! If you have questions about content warnings, feel free to ask us before or during an open mic.
Things we believe:
- We feel and practice respect for all people and for diversity of thought and identity.
- We see honesty as a form of love.
- We acknowledge that free speech is difficult sometimes.
- We accept that we are unaware of the traumas people within even our own communities are trying to live through, and we have to teach each other, learn from each other, make each other more aware.
Accessibility adventure notes for virtual performers or attendees:
Captions: Zoom has auto-generated captions, and those are... ok. When possible, we screen share the words/ lyrics/ poems to each performance so that attendees who need CC get better quality info. Performers are welcome to: screen share their words themselves, so they can stay on screen OR send an L&P host their words and they'll do the screen sharing OR paste a link to a document with their words in the chat, so attendees can decide if they want to see the words or not. If sharing your words ahead of time is not in the cards, that's ok, we'll do our best to make it work!
.
Sound quality: We ask all attendees to stay muted when not performing (or cheering). Are you performing with an instrument or accompanying music? Optimize your sound: https://online.berklee.edu/help/en_US/zoom/1793280-how-to-configure-zoom-audio-settings-for-music-performance
Access requests: Need something else for virtual OR in person participation? Get in touch with Laura P by DM or email [email protected]!
