Great Artists Steal - How to Lawfully Copy Third-Party Media Into Your Work
San Francisco, CA
Date: 05-30-2012
Website: http://www.calawyersforthearts.org/calendar?eventId=488921&EventViewMode=EventDetails
With Doug Robbins, Esq.
The thesis of this workshop is that there is an interesting intersection between the signs, symbols, and stories of myth and dream-consciousness, on the one hand, and the kind of material that may be lawfully used and copied under a panoply of copyright exceptions, on the other hand.
For example, copyright may not imbue in facts, nor ideas. Copyright may not be enforced in any material in the public domain -- undefined itself -- a huge realm that includes media created by the government, work for which the copyright was never properly renewed, and work created prior to 1923.
And the most powerful and complicated exception of all, fair use, allows for the copying and exploitation of others' media, for purposes of artistic commentary, critique, parody, and satire.
When skillfully implemented, these tools and others help the content creator to lawfully ("steal") borrow and build on some of the most penetrating messages, most powerful symbols, and most enduring stories offered by the worlds' artists and mystics.

Crowd Funding for Independent Filmmakers
Santa Monica, CA
Date: 06-09-2012
Website: http://www.calawyersforthearts.org/calendar?eventId=484541&EventViewMode=EventDetails
Crowd funding - using the Internet to raise donations from the public - has become an increasingly popular and accessible way to finance a film. The public may donate as little as a few dollars to as much as a few thousand dollars. Filmmakers can build an effective crowd funding campaign to reach out to a crowd of people for donations, using platforms like Kickstarter.com or Indiegogo.com to solicit donations from the public in exchange for rewards (e.g., memorabilia, DVDs, dinners, etc.). We will look at various websites that specialize in crowd funding, the importance of structuring a well-thought out campaign, and the impact of new laws on crowd funding. Finally, we will focus on key factors to building and maintain a crowd funding audience.

Workshop-California Environmental Quality Act
San Francisco, CA
Date: 06-21-2012
Website: https://netforum.avectra.com/eweb/DynamicPage.aspx?Site=CPF&WebCode=EventDetail&evt_key=b2aaf065-926b-45e9-8435-163a64242600
The California Environmental Quality Act or CEQA is the primary legal tool used in California to protect historic resources threatened by proposed development. The relationship between cultural resources and CEQA is complex. Many historic preservation professionals find CEQA confusing and cultural resource analysis is misunderstood by many CEQA professionals.
This workshop will begin with understanding the CEQA process and compilation of the document from an environmental consultant perspective as well as the differences and practices of the lead agencies at the local and state level. We will also explore legal issues and discuss advocacy actions that have successfully saved cultural resources through the environmental review process, and situations where such efforts have failed. Topics will include trends in the protection of cultural resources, creating feasible EIR alternatives to support historic resource retention, review of significant current preservation case-law, tools other than CEQA being used to protect historical resources, and a discussion of how CEQA is applied to both real and hypothetical situations.

How do cultural traditions of the past affect contemporary trends in dance education and how do current trends relate back? How do we preserve dance traditions and remain relevant in today's cultural and educational paradigm? How can study of cultural dance traditions support the larger creative goals of dance? How do we expose our students to the many different cultural dance forms given limited studio time and resources? How do we honor traditional cultural dance traditions while facilitating the creation of new culturally relevant and expressive work? How does cultural diversity impact the artistic processes (creating, performing, and responding) in teaching and learning; and making connections to 21st century learning skills? What is the responsibility of dance educators to impact and change community, state and national policy in light of cultural diversity?
National Dance Eduction Organization (NDEO) has always held diversity to be an essential part of conference. The 2012 national conference focuses on cultural diversity, exploring how a multicultural approach to education in dance and the creative process strengthens the field and how dance education partnered with cultural education enriches our understanding of the important role cultural traditions play in our lives.
