ART NOTES

Posted on June 30, 2010June 30, 2010 by Staff

CALL FOR MUSIC VIDS

Video may have killed the radio star, but it sure turned a lot of musicians into film divas.

If your band has a music video or is considering production of one, take note of the first annual music video festival for North Carolina bands at Cat’s Cradle on Dec. 2.

A panel of judges will select approximately 30 videos to be shown on the big screen, with awards given to winners of different categories.

According to the organizers: “We welcome all ages and musical genres. The music video does not need to be brand new nor anything fancy – if you have an original song and/or an original video from N.C. artists, we welcome everyone to submit!”

Applications can be downloaded at dogwood.tv

Hannah Grannemann, managing director of PlayMakers Repertory Company, has been appointed to the executive committee of the League of Resident Theatres (LORT).

She will serve with representatives of theaters from coast to coast – from Manhattan Theatre Club in New York to Berkeley Repertory Theatre in California – to promote the welfare and growth of the nation’s professional theater scene.

Before coming to PlayMakers in June 2008, Grannemann held key positions with two of the nation’s preeminent theater companies. She was associate managing director of Yale Repertory Theatre, in New Haven, Conn. She also served as associate producer of opening events for the new Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis.
