Austin Sports & Social Club

Equity is holding its first ever conference devoted to the field of variety, entertainment and circus. This is open to all members but will be of particular interest to those who work as cabaret artists, comedians, children’s entertainers, circus performers, storytellers, magicians, street performers or basically anyone who does their own act. Join fellow members and industry professionals to discuss Variety’s future as an art form, followed by an evening of entertainment. You will also hear from Equity&#x27;s General Secretary and Variety Official.A buffet lunch will be provided before the discussions start. An optional evening meal will be available at low cost prior to an evening of entertainment which will be free to attend.ProgrammeThe conference will be arranged in 3 sections:Keeping Variety Relevant: Are the traditional venues and workplaces still thriving? Are more traditional acts at odds with new forms of variety? Which are gaining or losing popularity and what will be the opportunities in the future.Keeping Variety Sustainable: The environment and climate change are everyone’s concern – or should be. Find out how entertainment can be made as carbon neutral as possible and what to consider if you’re putting on or performing at an event or buying new equipment. Can these changes be used to your own professional advantage? Keeping Variety Safe: The safety of performers when working has never been more important than now - whether that’s related to Covid, lack of safety at venues, audience disruption or even working online. This session will look at the problems and possible solutions.
