2020 NPAPW

[David Spencer <>]

Hello everyone,

I’m thrilled to be part of an exciting and talented team! My evolution with within this sphere has been rapid thanks to so many of you so I am hopeful my perspective as a full-time musical artist will be helpful.  

I’m in Asia performing concerts thru this weekend but will get to the doodle poll ASAP.  

So we can get the call for proposals out ASAP, I would also like to offer my services as a trumpet artist and be added to the list of available performers.  Having more musical options could spark some additional ideas for composers, collaborators  and sponsors and I certainly don’t mind making that contribution toward the workshop. I’ll also be working underground to get other professional musicians involved which could further create some new opportunities for us. 

Looking forward to seeing you all soon.

Hello all  -   Our 2020 hosts have an extraordinary set of resources and talent to offer our workshop series!    Their request of us, the Program Committee, is that we start planning and release the Call for Proposals soon so they have plenty of time to create a great event.    Please, by next Monday, July 29, if you could fill out the following Doodle Poll, this will help get our first planning meeting scheduled:   NPAPW Program Committee Meeting Date Proposals

 

Mary Simoni, Dean, School of Humanities, Arts & Social Sciences at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), will serve as part of this program committee and will also oversee an RPI committee of staff responsible for internal planning.   Johannes Goebel, founding Director of the Curtis R. Priem Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) at RPI, will oversee his team who will implement all of the workshop activities at EMPAC.   And John Kolb, RPI Chief Information Officer, is our Executive Sponsor and is fully engaged already supporting our efforts.    

 

We are also working with colleagues from NYSERNet, New York state’s Research and Education Network.   NYSERNet has a spectacular meeting planning team, who also work closely with John Kolb’s staff to support meetings and workshops at RPI.   John and I had the opportunity to meet last week with Tina O’Mara and Christy Rohmer from NYSERNet and JoAnn Drost, from RPI, to begin planning logistics.  

 

Finally, I have asked a new colleague at Internet2, Taleitha Pytlowanyj, to work with me overseeing this program committee.    We have a great team!     I look forward to working with all of you.    Best regards.    -Ann
