Information Exchange
Hi there,
This post and the following ongoing comments are dedicated to sharing information and staying in touch with other recent graduates or independent dance artists. Due to the many demands of working within this sector it can often be difficult to stay connected to fellow artists, and so please feel free to use this resource as a way to combat that isolation.
Please note that as a result of feedback from our Graduate Fortnight programme this year, we now offer an extended concession rate for our workshops and events. This means that if you hold a student card for 06/07 - a concession rate is valid on our events until 30 June 2008 or if you will become a graduate in 07/08 your concession rate is valid until 30 June 2009.
We hope you find this resource useful and welcome to the ID forum.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you both for your support. The idea of this webbsite is wonderful. It works very well for me, but I’ll continue to pop in and see if I can feed back any useful information. You wrote something about a soft launch, is that coming up?
I’ll keep checking, many thanks

Dear All dance teachers,
My name is Louis Warren and I am writing to you on behalf of Superhero Productions. Superhero Productions are a company created by graduating students Louis Warren and Gerra Freeman to give undergraduate arts students the chance to perform high quality work and network with other disciplines. This gives the golden opportunity to create contacts within the industry for the future work.
We are looking for professionals to attend our event ‘May the 4th be with you,’ on May 4th, 8pm, Browns Independant Bar, Coventry. We would like to invite you to come and meet undergraduate dance students, to offer any valuable advice or feedback you may have. The evening itself will be a relaxed evening of drinks, chatting, networking games and watching performances. Feel free to bring a guest.
Please contact me if you have any questions or queries, and we will look forward to hopefully seeing you there!
Louis Warren (superheroproductions@hotmail.co.uk)
