Fund Raising |
Much must come
from within Chester, that is the real strength of a performing arts
culture.
Many skilled
workers will be needed.
Education is
paramount. |
Getting people
excited!
Making people
aware of that which is bubbling within.
Reaching out to
the surrounding towns. It is their city, too. |
Attract
national and international groups to visit and perform in Chester.
Also bring in
Cutting-Edge composers, choreographers, writers and cineasts |
Create a
Theatre district, an All Arts Radio Station, and a Performing Arts
Library as well as welcoming film and video production.
This could use
existing buildings if their placement is useful. New construction may be
necessary. |
These would
become the core faculty, mentors, sponsors, guides and performers in
residence.
An orchestra
and opera company would be formed.
The orchestra
would be available to film makers. |
All workers
must be properly paid!
It is not
proper to expect volunteers to do all of this. |
