I'm Participating in Dance/NYC Town Hall on Future of Dance and the Internet

On Wednesday, October 24th, I'll be participating in Dance/NYC's first Town Hall of the season. The title of this program is close to my heart:

Does Dance Have a Future? Implications of a Technological World

How is technology impacting the dance world. Is it good? Is it bad? How can we use it to grow our audiences? How does live dance compete? These are all questions that will be discussed at our first town hall of the year. Please join us!

Since this is a town hall format, my guess is that each of the presenters only has a brief amount of time to talk and most of the program will be devoted to an open discussion relating to the future of dance and the impact of the Internet on the concert dance community.

So what I'll do is write a post or two next week with my thoughts on these and related issues. And it would be great to get ideas and feedback from readers as well. I'll include your comments in my handout so participants can get a diverse range of views on these issues.

I'm delighted to be participating in this Town Hall. And if you're in New York City, it would be great to see you/meet you at this event - it's free! Here's the RSVP form.

The event takes place at Dance/NYC offices:

Dance/NYC
63 Greene St
New York, NY 10012

Doug, at the time you posted your entry, there were all those pole dance, grind dance and take-off-your-pants dance ads on the right side of the screen! Didn't you notice? LOL!

Hi Doug -- I was talking about this:

It looks like it's a blogging conference; doesn't look like there's a lot for dance specifically, but could still be very interesting. I don't think I'm going to be able to go because of work, etc., but thought it might interest you.

Thanks, Tonya.

I saw Gray's write-up about blogging conference after I followed-up on your comment. I'm not able to go but it looks like there's a lot of good educational tracks and speakers about different aspects of blogging.
