East Asian Subgroup (Diversity Workgroup) Meeting
The ACTOR Diversity (East Asian) subgroup is having a meeting to discuss Xu Yi's Plein du vide, in conjunction with the live@CIRMMT performance by the McGill Contemporary Ensemble on 13 November. The meeting is open to everyone in ACTOR and CIRMMT who might be interested in discussing the piece from an analyst, conductor, performer perspective.
ACTOR Diversity Workgroup General Meeting
This will be a general planning and discussion meeting. It would be great to hear a quick update/report/forecast from each of the workgroups if possible (especially since we're now expanding with the addition of the Sub-Saharan Africa/Diaspora group and the Middle Eastern/South Asian group as well as the original Chinese/East Asian, Pop Music, and Gender Diversity groups).
Since we'll all be meeting together, this will also be a good opportunity to talk about questions of diversity in the ACTOR project more broadly... and especially areas where we could propose new initiatives or plan collaborations across the subgroups. Looking forward to seeing you on Monday the 25th!
Chinese and East Asian Subgroup Meeting
