Welcome

Dear Friends and Fellow Art Enthusiasts,

I'd be lying to you if I didn't say, I'm starting this blog for selfish reasons. After an incredible year long tenure with an Indianapolis based website as their arts writer and theatre critic, my life has taken a new direction, but my need to see everything in town has not. However, my motives are not entirely egocentric. I truly believe in the arts scene in Indianapolis. With exciting theatre, innovative visual art and beautiful dance productions through the year, the community of Hoosier artists creating for you and me never fails to astonish.

In this blog, Bravo Indianapolis, I hope to support these companies as well as to promote their growth. Encouraging audiences to get out and see the human to human connections being made in Indianapolis theatre, dance and art events is my first goal. Not far behind, I hope this blog will be an open forum to discuss both the successes and failures of artistic endeavors across the Circle City. Honesty about my perceptions of artist's work is intended only to help as they begin new pursuits. All art is a local event, created for and by the people of a particular community. A dialogue between the creators and the receivers is, in my mind, the best way to foster artistic growth for the entire community

With these rather lofty ideas, I contribute a my small portion from a West side corner of Indianapolis. I love this city, and I love the art being produced here. Though I may not always agree with it, nor it with me, I promise never to be malicious or cruel, but always to be honest.

Bravo Indianapolis! And keep creating.
