PosPlease consider this:

It was announced from the Rockefeller Foundation:

 

Misnomer Dance Theater to utilize behavioral science for a stakeholder-engagement program for NYC’s performing arts organizations in partnership with strategy and marketing firm Orcasci

 

http://www.rockefellerfoundation.org/news/press-releases/rockefeller-foundation-gives-nearly-3

 

Besides the insubstantial premise of this project, I find very odd that the  the NYC based dance company contracts the London based  "firm" Orcasci.

 

That firm only had one client: Misnomer Dance Theater....from the project that was funded before and we dont even know what happened with that!.

 

More than one  million $$ was given two years ago to Misnomer? ...Just curious...

 

What happened?  other engagement  program done? it is or was valuable?

Was it necessary to spend  one million $$ and more?

 

Do you need more money to hire the same people for another engagement project...?

 

 

See who was the main client  of the London firm "Orcasi"

Interesting...

 

We need dance journalists also to research  these cases...to research facts that help to  better our precarious  system and go beyond the melodramas of reviews or inocuous debate about the importance of  the Can Dance contests  for the dance world.

This is what is important:

Money is flowing  from agencies and we need results or evaluations no just PR!!

 

Question:

 

do we need a wiki-leaks for  the arts? and dance?

Does anyone care?  or everybody is just gazing to the other side just because...of fear?

 

I am worried because  there is no transparency in how the moneys are spent and because is in the arts it looks like ...not so important.

 

Please follow this up...

I think that we need  transparency...fairness and justice. 

We need to ask questions!!!

Answers?

Dance/USA Winter Forum - Day 2 This weekend, Kristin Sloan from The Winger, Chris Elam, and myself (Jaki Levy) led a workshop at the annual Dance / USA winter forum in Los Angeles on Recording, Producing, and Sharing Online Video. The workshop was well attended by the dance company executive / managing directors, development and outreach staff, and the attendees had some good questions. One particular participant asked if there was a way to track who is viewing your video, and what age are they are. For performing arts organizations, this data can be very valuable for building your audiences. With a bit of work, you can certainly get a sense of what your viewership is. While you may not have quick access to this information, you can certainly look at who is subscribing to your videos, and leaving comments. YouTube users are fairly open and usually post their age on their profiles. You just have to go and get this data - there is not automatic way to do this - yet.

This is a very good example of two things: the power of diffusion of the internet for a good idea and alternate ways of finding funds. Congratulation to Misnomer Dance Theater!
