Reflections from the Field
Andrea introduces two “reflections from the field” to give a context to the discussion of “where dance is today.” Over the course of the two days in council and cross-council discussion we will be exploring the question, “What is the next stage for dance?” To begin that conversation we have asked two representatives from the field to talk from their own perspective about the state of dance today.
