Performing Arts Legacy Project

Roadmap – Unit 6

Unit 6: Enhancing your Grid: Highlights and Blogs

Overview:
Highlights are special moments and events, often linked to a Mapping the Legacy grid entry, that show the viewer a snapshot of seminal moments in the professional’s career. They can include text, images, audio and video. We also refer to blogs as Highlights (a blog is a short essay, sometimes with photos, of a particular experience in your career.)

Breakdown
  • If in a cohort of Professionals, share your blog.
  • Creating A Highlight
  • Linking
  • Connecting Highlights/Blogs to Your Mapping Grid
  • Download the app you will use to scan
    • Professionals and their Fellow may wish to share their login and password with each other so the Fellow can better assist in the scanning/uploading process.
    • Scan and upload 3-5 Images and save them to your computer (or flash drive).
  • Continue working on your Mapping the Legacy Grid (goal by now = 35 Entries)
Multi-Generational Interviews

The project has benefitted from an Intergenerational Component that matches a high school or college student with a Professional to conduct a 1.5-hour interview by phone/Skype/Facetime, etc. based on questions the student creates. These sessions are not recorded and are confidential. We recommend reaching out to local schools and forming a relationship with a specific teacher. For groups, the students and their teacher can then select salient moments from the interviews and create a script, culminating in a panel with the PAL Professionals and their student “Legacy Seekers,” either live or remotely, at the end of the term.
