Keynote speaker Jim Moore
With a passion spanning over four decades, Jim R Moore has dedicated himself to capturing the essence of eccentric performing arts. His journey includes notable appearances in the Oscar-winning documentary 'Man on Wire' and the recent accolade of his published work 'Don't Miss This! A Decade of Eccentric Performing Arts,' which clinched the NY Big Book Award. Moore's artistic endeavors have graced the prestigious halls of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts through two exhibitions and have been featured in numerous revered books and magazines.
At the heart of Moore's contribution to the arts is his renowned blog, 'Vaudevisuals.com,' a venerable chronicle of interviews and photographs that serves as the definitive resource for enthusiasts of the eccentric. His creative flair extends beyond the written word, as evidenced by his award-winning short silent film 'The Ridiculous Romantic,' which was honored at the Coney Island Film Festival.
Not one to rest on his laurels, Moore has ventured into the realm of publishing, establishing Vaudevisuals Press LLC and Outside Talker Press, with six captivating books already in print. Despite his illustrious career, Moore remains deeply engaged in the excitement of documenting emerging performance artists, perpetuating his legacy as a visionary chronicler of the avant-garde.
