WHAT'S ON THE WEB TONIGHT, DEAR?

Kansas City arts group respond to pandemic with ample online content This year fans of the performing arts have learned that you don't have to leave home to take in a show. Although some organizations have experimented with carefully-distanced outdoor (and occasionally indoor) performances, local audiences still remain disinclined to attend indoor events.

  2. Oh, I don't know, the little skank on the far left looks like she'd be fun to use and degrade for a week or so before dumping her chubby ass, so this isn't a total waste.

  3. I'm surprised the Heartland Men’s Chorus aren't performing their seminal works Reach Around and Tales of the Skin Flute.

    Look at that photo! I believe I count 32 people in the group, but only see ONE dark-skinned male. They need to whip themselves, giveaway all their money/possessions, and beg forgiveness for their evil whiteness! That is, unless they're all fake liberals who just spout the agenda for show.

    Commitment to Diversity
    ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS & AFFIRMATIONS

    In the United States, systems of power exist which have distributed privilege and access unequally for generations. Continuous work is required to acknowledge, dismantle, and correct such systemic intergenerational inequities.

    Only by holding ourselves accountable to acknowledge, address, and challenge both our privilege and our inequalities can we work toward equity and justice.

    Equitable access to a full, vibrant creative life is essential to a healthy and democratic society.

    Cultural equity is critical to the long-term viability of the arts sector.

    The prominent presence of artists challenges inequities and encourages alternatives.

    KC VITAs is dedicated to the creation and performance of new music through inclusivity, equity, and diversity. We raise our united voices against all forms of marginalization (including but not limited to those who have been historically underrepresented based on race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, or gender identity), so that voices from all walks of life continually exist in and inform our policies, programming, and audiences. With guidance from Americans for the Arts, KC VITAs is adopting the following policies:

    1. KC VITAs pledges to program at least 50% of our total music per year by composers representing a marginalized community.

    2. KC VITAs pledges to reserve the position of “Composer-In-Residence” for a composer representing a marginalized community.

    3. KC VITAs will continue to strive to keep access to performances as financially accessible as possible by keeping admission prices low for our general audiences, and free for students. We pledge to seek new partnerships with organizations to help identify and distribute complimentary tickets to communities without means and to continually address location concerns of our concert venues by way of proximity to communities and general accessibility.

    KC VITAs is committed to reviewing and adding to the policies above in order to best reflect how we can most positively impact our communities and promote inclusion, equity, and diversity.
