Invitation to join this blog as a Panellist
This is a new blog. Its content has been inspired by an interest in the viability and sustainability of dance companies as social enterprises. ‘Oh no, not money again!’ And indeed some well funded dance companies may be working on other pressures.
If there is one thing that the current recessionary situation (technically it is over) has shown is that money cannot be taken for granted. Is it inevitable that some dance companies may lose their funding? I have no ‘inside knowledge’ and would not like to cause any alarm. But realistically, treasurers and accountants will be looking into funding more seriously than ever before. What are your views? Please see the contact details at the bottom.
Join us as a Reviewer
Have you seen any dance performances recently? Would you like to send in your own personal view of the performance and ask us to publish it? Yes we are giving you that option now but be careful about your facts! Your views about artistic integrity are strictly your own views and I will publish it after discussing it with you if you wish. Please see the contact details at the bottom.
Invitation: Send me your dance company pictures and posters!
I am looking for inspirational work which should project your company as a leader or as an innovator in your chosen field.
If you wish to send in pictures of performances, please also state basic information such as dates, time and duration. Please see the contact details at the bottom.
Write Reviews! Be seen and heard
If you have seen a recent performance and feel strongly about it, contact me to discuss an arrangement to publish your review. I will consider giving you an anonymous name
if you wish!
Start and Manage the Critical Debate
