Title
criticaldance forum and ballet-dance magazine
Description
www.criticaldance.com and www.ballet-dance.com are hosted, maintained, moderated and published by CriticalDance, an international non-profit entity founded for the purpose of promoting and supporting the dance arts, including dance arts professionals, organizations, companies, presenters, writers and audiences, through:
Moderated Public Forums and Events: CriticalDance envisions a global bond not only among dance arts supporters but also between professionals and enthusiasts through moderated online forums, discussion salons, and dance festivals. Through an exchange of ideas, interactive discussion and sharing of information, CriticalDance hopes to enlighten the community and bring exposure to events, situations and organizations that do not otherwise receive adequate recognition. In doing so, CriticalDance aims to achieve a critical mass (hence the name CriticalDance) to effect changes and improvements to the artform, including facilitating support groups, fundraising efforts, and education of the public, and to raise its profile not only among arts lovers but also the general public. CriticalDance's current primary forum (CDf) is located at www.criticaldance.com/forum.
Periodicals: CriticalDance envisions publications that raise the global awareness of the dance arts, promote dance events and performances, educate the community about lesser known companies and issues, and encourage fresh voices in dance journalism. Through an expanding series of formats, CriticalDance hopes to project coverage among the general public and therefore elevate the stature of the dance arts. CriticalDance's current primary publication is Ballet-Dance Magazine (BDm), located at www.ballet-dance.com, which is published online around the second weekend of every month, drawn from an international mix of interviews, features, reviews and recent discussions from CriticalDance in addition to original material submitted by CriticalDance members and freelance writers.
