Today I’m live-blogging from the Dance/NYC Mid-Season Symposium, held this year at 3LD Arts & Technology Center in lower Manhattan. As a member of the organization’s Junior Committee I’ve been volunteering here and there in exchange for free admission to some of the panels held during this one-day conference. We’re talking:
Meet the Funders: Communities and Giving in 2011
Dance and Diplomacy
Meet the Leagues and Partners: Lower Manhattan Arts League and Models of Collaboration
NYC Spaces for Dance Making
How to Be Your Own Business
How to Be An Advocate with Amy Fitterer
So, this is big stuff. Especially cool is that there is a projected live twitter feed on the back wall in the main room, and symposium attendants are being encouraged to ask questions, share moments of reflection and realization, and talk with each other by tweeting the hashtag #dancesymp. Check it out if you’re curious to hear what’s been discussed today.
It’s great to feel part of something this big. I’m so grateful for communal moments of gathering like these. Anyone else here today?
