Guest Curator: Ed Patuto, director for audience engagement, The Broad Museum  
 
Bringing together a group of both cultural leaders and educators, this week’s conversations will examine new and emerging models for incubating, developing and presenting performance art across global institutions. In taking an international perspective, the group will consider what possibilities exist or might otherwise be developed for exchange between countries, cultures and communities, as has always been the foundation of American art. Particular emphasis will be placed on both the pedagogical impact of these new models and modes of exchange, in terms of how we approach both the teaching of performance and the performance of teaching as well as how performers and presenters can create new opportunities for engaging audiences and communities.
