This month's advocacy challenge...
Participate in an audience/artist talk-back.
What better way to learn more about the creative process, or get in on what inspires your favourite artist, then directly from the source? Artist talks, salons, and audience Q & A's after performances are a unique opportunity to listen to all sorts of folks talk about dance—widen our audiences, develop new relationships and deepen everyone's appreciation and understanding of dance.
Attending a performance? Check the schedule and plan to attend on the night a talk-back is scheduled. Flex your dance dialogue muscle and inspire others to do the same.
Please find below some talk-back initiatives we know about
Know of any missing from this list? Outside Vancouver?
Drop us a line:
...and, of course, CADA/BC's own Dance Response.
