I look forward to engaging in dialogue that will support Dance/USA as they look to continue to try and best meet the needs of the dance field. In preparation for the dialogue, I have included some guided questions that were already sent via email below. These questions will support our time together. 1. What are ways you would like to connect with other people in the dance ecosystem? 2. What needs do you face that you believe could be addressed by a national dance service organization? 3. To build on that, we’d like to share a list of needs that have come up in a national survey this year regarding the well-being of the dance ecosystem. Can you share which of these needs feel most urgent or important? We will get into the “why” as part of our conversation together. o Federal advocacy on behalf of creative workers active in the dance ecosystem o Career development/training o Dance research o Application of technology o Amplifying the national profile of dance o Increased financial support for dance in the U.S. o Convening the ecosystem: National Conferences o Convening the ecosystem: Regional Dialogues o Developing the next generation of leaders o Ensuring the legacy of dance artists and organizations through archiving and preservation o Medical and Health resources 4. If you are familiar with Dance/USA and their programs/services, what do you value most? 5. Is there anything based on your {i.e., location/ affinity/role] that feels important for Dance/USA to know? (i.e., specific need, challenge…) 6. Dance/USA’s values are Connectivity, Creativity, Equity, and Integrity. Do these values resonate with you and your practice of (or relationship to) dance? How so? 7. Is there anything else that feels important to share? I look forward to speaking next week and hope you have a great day! ----------------------------- Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85864852980 Meeting ID: 858 6485 2980 --- Dial by your location • +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) • +1 305 224 1968 US • +1 309 205 3325 US • +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) • +1 646 931 3860 US • +1 929 205 6099 US (New York) • +1 564 217 2000 US • +1 669 444 9171 US • +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) • +1 689 278 1000 US • +1 719 359 4580 US • +1 253 205 0468 US • +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) • +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) • +1 360 209 5623 US • +1 386 347 5053 US • +1 507 473 4847 US Find your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kbPCt6beMj More details...
