In addition to Great, Dance Fox also writes the Dance That Matters blog, which features the stories of dancers who inspire individuals, organizations and communities through the power of movement.
It's good to see that in the visual and performing arts world audio podcasts are beginning to catch on.
Andrew Taylor has a post about some of these new podcasts:
- The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra has launched an E-Label version of its classics on iTunes. From the press release you can link to MSO's music on ITunes.
- The Frist Center for the Visual Arts in Nashville, Tennessee has a number of recent podcasts of exhibits at the Frist. I'm listening right now to one done by Exhibits Curator Mark Scala who is explaining a few works from the Hudson River School. He's giving a live tour and asking the audience questions as he discusses the paintings. Sounds interesting but I think I have to be looking at the paintings to benefit from this audio tour.
- GalleryCasts seems to be a new directory of art-related podcasts - there are currently four podcasts available.
- Stanford University has created Standford on iTunes, which includes a good number of audio files from lectures, music, and books and authors on its special section on iTunes - very impressive and very free.
So the question I have is when will the dance world join the podcasting fun? I think that video podcasts in particular would be a great way to promote upcoming dance performances.
