Hi all,
Three things that I think have helped the dance series committees I've been
part of are:
- Be geared toward the needs of performers (having a guarantee with a bonus for
good attendance, considering ways to increase the appeal for them to play/call
for our series - like food, dinner, housing, etc)
- Be geared toward the needs of dancers (thinking about what we as dancers love
in a dance series, having an attitude of 'this will be fun!", having a broader
concept of the sorts of dancers we want to attract - newbies *and* experienced
folks of all ages)
- Be clear about the vision we have for the series, but willing to adapt along
the way, and making it workable for ourselves as commitee members (defining
roles, distributing the responsibilities, communicating as things come up,
giving small stipends for committee work - which takes the edge off feeling
'burdened', enjoying the process of dance management, wlecoming and even
soliciting specific volunteer contributions, etc.)
Great idea for a Shared Weight Organizers topic! Looking fwd to reading more
contributions!
