MET’s Original Work
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Work with a lawyer to develop an intellectual property contract
Differentiate between “authored” work and ensemble developed work
Create a strategy for disseminating the original work more broadly including publication and performance
Market the MET’s creative process through workshops, college presentations, etc
Create a protocol for the development of projects
Include one original piece in each season, either MET created or presented from another company
Name the original work program – MET Works (?)
Solicit reviews from DC/Baltimore area
Create a web page for original work
Publish original work via e-document that could include images, web links. Etc.
Take “pieces” of original work to smaller venues – open mic sessions, for example
Promote original work to subject specific venues – (Finally Heard to Civil War venues, for example)
Appoint a member (or two) of the Ensemble to provide leadership for managing original MET program
