Jacob's Pillow NDPF Public Session: Presenting & the Dance Ecosystem
About the Event:
Held on Thursday, September 19, 2024, this event considered the role of presenters within the larger dance ecosystem in the United States. Participants connected with a panel of dance workers who play an integral part of bringing dance works and audiences together, including: a choreographer, presenter, and agents/managers and creative producer. Guiding questions included: What role do each of these members of the dance community play in making dance possible? How should these interlocutors work together and what role do they play in supporting artists and local communities? How can collaboration across roles advance the dance ecology today?
This session is the second of two public sessions made available through the 2024 National Dance Presenter’s Forum. The 2024 National Dance Presenters’ Forum (NDPF) brought together a diverse cohort of presenters from across the U.S. with goals to: build the ecology of dance presenting as we emerge from the pandemic; foster dialogue about the changed landscape of dance presenting; and encourage an expansive model of access and participation in the field. The 2024 virtual forum took place monthly between May and October with an eye towards an in-person forum in the summer of 2025.
ASL Interpretation and CART was provided at this event.
