As an ArtsMark partner we were delighted to be invited to give a short talk at an ArtsMark Connects event organised by A New Direction who are the Arts Council England’s Bridge Organisation for London.
It was called ‘Reconnecting with the Cultural Sector’ and looked at lessons from lock down using digital media and future ways of working.
It was a fantastic event - highly interactive for a Zoom session with regular breakouts and clever use of Google’s JamBoard, and was really well supported by art teachers and leaders from around 50 or so schools.
Our talk
We had five minutes to talk about the hundreds of hours we’d live streamed last year across 5 three day festival weekends, over twenty pop-up days across the UK and a few cardboard props.
So talked quickly, as you can see:
In the talk I showed the cardboard Coventry cathedral we’re live streaming from to and with school communities on our #InspiredToLearn21 Live and Live Streamed Tour on which we set up the green screen studio in school halls.
I also gave a sneak peak at the Streamyard and Vmix software we use, but it really doesn’t have to be that complicated, there are easy ways to start bringing your online meetings to life.
If anyone is interested in a more detailed hour long session on this tech, then do get in touch and we’ll put something together.
Either way, do take a look at the #InspiredToLearn21 Tour appeal film below… you won’t believe your eyes!
