As you may know, with support from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Dance/NYC is undertaking a strategic plan to maximize its foundation of service and build new capacity for NYC dance. Emma Dunch and Andrea Sholler of Dunch Arts, LLC, are managing this plan, which was launched with a series of community conversations to deepen Dance/NYC’s understanding of field activity, need and opportunity.

Today Dance/NYC and Dunch Arts bring the discussion online and invite you to join in.

Download documents below for the content and guiding questions from the first three community conversations, including a meeting of 23 service organizations (yes, that many organizations working to support the field), a meeting of dancers and dance makers, and a meeting of dance managers. Help us to set the course for the future of Dance/NYC. Tell us what you think. Respond to the questions. Share your own experiences and your goals for the field.
