The Curse of “Comfortable”: Discussing Casual Harassment in the Performing Arts
Date: Thursday – October, 25 2018 Time: 2:15pm - 3:15pm Room: 21c Museum and Hotel Gallery 3
The creative world has long been a place where performers and patrons alike can step into the shoes of another person and cast away the regular expectations of the world. In light of societal shifts and efforts like the #MeToo movement, we find that even the creative world is radically changing. While these changes may ultimately be for the better, there still remain many settings in the performing arts where harassment is an issue. In this highly interactive discussion led by human resources entrepreneur and 20-year entertainer Jeff Yenzer, we will discuss often-overlooked pitfalls and explore ways to avoid them. Be prepared to take notes, ask questions, and maintain an objective mindset in order to learn ways to navigate our way toward a better society.
