Exciting times that we live in… In 2023, change is faster than ever before. And to keep up with the change, we need to keep moving. Finding new ways and remodelling ourselves over and over. And supporting those coming up behind us. In every field in which we are involved. One of my areas is the Arts. Lovin’ the Arts! They add so much to everything that we do, and appear all throughout our lives. As we all know, music is the soundtrack of everyone’s life – sometimes classical and sometimes contemporary. And if you shout “I don’t do classical…”, well … gotta tell you that you are probably wrong. Just go to the movies to see what I mean… but HEAR as well as see. So, when the opportunity to get involved in a BRAND NEW opera company presented itself about 18 months ago, WHAT COULD I SAY BUT yes … YES and YES again. Introducing Springboard Opera. We create opportunities for young opera graduates in fabulous Queensland, the up-and-coming epicentre of Australian arts. We are rejigging the Idea of Opera – from the top to the bottom. We are creating opportunities for our talented graduates here in their home state. How absolutely cool is that – it is the kind of thing that makes you want to get out of bed in the morning. Springboard Opera is my C21 thinking in action – jump on over to our website https://lnkd.in/gS53GYEN to see what we are up to. It is gonna BE BIG! . #Future #TransformationalLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment #Directors #Technology #PwCAustraliaAlumni #YourNetworkForLife

Friday Arts! It is so cool living in Brisbane … the erupting epicentre of the arts in this country! There is so much going on in this town (and this state) in the arts. Our own #QueenslandTheatre is amazing, as are the other majors in town … #Circa, #QueenslandBallet, #OperaQueensland, and #QSO. The Festivals are pretty fabulous also, and the biggest Arts Festival of all - the Cultural Olympiad - is on its way also. But if you look a little deeper, there are also rumblings outside the play space of the majors. The new kid on the block is Springboard Opera, and I am the chair of the board. With my fellow other directors Leslie Martin, Luisa Tarnawski, Gheorja Haidley and Scott Mullane, I am putting together a purpose-built Opera Company here in BrisVegas. Our words are: Supporting Emerging Artists Transforming the Opera Idea We’ve had one public outing, and the INAUGURAL Springboard Opera auditions are happening soon – check out our website if you happen to be an emerging Opera Artist. Or even if you aren’t. Being purpose-built and brand new, our point-of-difference is that we have no history. So the answer “this is the way that it is done” is really of no interest to us. We are going to push the envelope, finding new audiences, supporting young Queensland, and deliver opera in ways that you have not seen before. But what is also different is the stuff that the public does not see. The corporate culture, the way that we run ourselves, the people we have. A truly innovative and C21 arts organisation is not just about the performances. It is about everything that we do and every thought that we have. And that is why you need to watch this space, or even jump on over to our website at https://lnkd.in/gS53GYEN and become a supporter! #Future #TransformationalLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment #Directors #Technology #Performingarts #YourNetworkForLife
