What does it take for Black audiences to feel at home in the theatre? This question looms over producers at predominantly white institutions as they hope to encourage people to return to the theatre following Covid-19’s shuttering impact. Playwrights Dominique Morisseau and Jeremy O. Harris have been at the helm of a grassroots movement with a promising answer: Black Out nights. Now Black Out performances are filling houses across the country. https://lnkd.in/dubqe_s3 Award-winning playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins talked recently about ‘Black Out nights’. In the UK it was drawn into the culture wars (though interestingly it hasn’t been in the US) with even Prime Minister Rishi Sunak criticizing the practice for being exclusionary (it’s not). “It’s just a misreading of what those nights are. In America we have a strong black audience that buses in to see 'The Color Purple' or whatever… it’s an audience that’s a privilege to have so a black out night is not that uncommon of an idea.” Would he consider such nights at his shows? “I’m not averse to it… my plays tend to draw diverse audiences and I like to feel people be in the space together and listen to them laugh or not. But if people thought it was helpful then sure. It’s all a marketing scheme. It’s all about selling tickets, so sure.” https://lnkd.in/dfD-Mfxm Read more about Black Out here: https://blackoutnite.com/ #SweibelArts #BlackOutNights #AudienceDevelopment

💎 Know your worth... In an experiment conducted by 'The Washington Post', 🎻 Bell performed as an incognito busker at a metro station in Washington D.C. on 12 January 2007. Of the more than 1000 people who passed by, only seven stopped to listen, and only one recognised him, earning only $32. 🚇 The same violinist played in a Boston concert hall and earned over $60,000 per hour. 🎶💰 What made this big difference? Its called Brand positioning. Learning: So, if you are a professional musician and you position yourself as a subway busker, your customers will treat you accordingly and pay you as such. On the other hand, if you position yourself as a professional concert performer, you attract a totally different audience and once again, get paid accordingly. 🎵👤💼 #brandpositioning #branding
