  • Program 2 [2020]

    WHILE THE CHALLENGES OF THE PANDEMIC OF 2020 CAUSED THE CANCELLATION OR SHIFT OF MOST PROGRAMMING, IT ALSO PRESENTED UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES TO REACH NEW AUDIENCES AND REIMAGINE ENGAGEMENT IN OUR PROGRAMMING. IN THE INITIAL SHIFT TO ONLINE EVENTS, BOSTON COURT PASADENA (BCP) FIRST PRESENTED A SERIES OF FREE ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES. WHILE IN THE PAST THESE EDUCATIONAL EVENTS WOULD TAKE PLACE BEFORE AND AFTER PERFORMANCES AS PART OF THE ILLUMINATIONS SERIES, THE NEWLY REBRANDED BEHIND THE CONCERT/BEYOND THE CONCEPT (BTC) SERIES TOOK PLACE ONLINE WITH RECORDINGS AVAILABLE AFTER FOR ON-DEMAND VIEWING. THIS RESULTED IN NEARLY DOUBLE THE IN-PERSON ATTENDANCE FOR THE INITIAL, LIVE PRESENTATION, AND HALF AGAIN AS MANY VIEWS OF THE RECORDING, RESULTING IN TRIPLE THE PARTICIPATION OF IN-PERSON EVENTS. ADDITIONALLY, THE FULL EMERGING ARTISTS SERIES, USUALLY PRESENTED AT $10 PER TICKET, WAS PRESENTED FOR FREE ONLINE TO 320 VIEWERS.THE PARTNERSHIP WITH PASADENA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT (PUSD), IN WHICH ALL FALL ONLINE CONCERTS WERE OFFERED FOR FREE TO TEACHERS AND STUDENTS, WAS ALSO A SUCCESS. IN DECEMBER, THREE SECOND-GRADE CLASSES, TOTALING 110 STUDENTS, VIEWED THE HUB NEW MUSIC CONCERT AND SPOKE WITH THE ARTISTS THROUGH ONLINE CONFERENCING SOFTWARE. THIS EVENT, AS WELL AS ANOTHER DESIGNER VIRTUAL DISCUSSION WITH STUDENTS FROM JOHN MUIR HIGH SCHOOL, AND A CAREER DAY VIRTUAL CHAT WITH BCP STAFF ABOUT JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN THE ARTS, HAS MORE THAN DOUBLED THE NUMBER OF YOUTH AND STUDENTS DIRECTLY ENGAGED WITH BCP.BCP ALSO DID A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF OUTREACH TO LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS FOR THE LOAN OF AUDIO EQUIPMENT AND PLATFORMS FOR LOCAL EVENTS HAS BROUGHT BCP INTO COLLABORATION WITH MORE GRASSROOTS AND SOCIAL JUSTICE ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY.
