Dance Resource projects include: Top 5 in 2012 The First of the Dancer Notes Series. Dancer Notes are exchanges for dance artists in the DC metro area to pool resources in order to achieve a greater impact. For this first event, Top Five in 2012, we will share upcoming grant deadlines, performance opportunities, contacts and strategy ideas. The goal is for you to leave with a list of five opportunities to pursue this year. They can be as small as having coffee with a presenter or as large as applying for a national grant. Whatever it may be, we are here to help you organize your thoughts and define priorities. All colleagues, dancers, friends, volunteers and board members are welcome. Be prepared to share any opportunities that you know of or are creating yourself! Writing Your Project Description Upcoming applications got you down? Grant deadlines ahead but you need some help getting started? This hands-on grant writing workshop will help you clarify your creative project in writing. Facilitators will help you to identify your project goals and objectives, frame your statement of need, articulate your anticipated outcomes and clarify how you will measure your projects' success. By the end of this session, you will have a working outline for a detailed project proposal and a first draft of a project description. This session will be held at the Dance Place development office, 725 Kearney Street (across the street from the Dance Place theater) Washington, DC 20017. Cultivating Donors This workshop is designed to offer participants a specific fundraising strategy aimed at cultivating individual donors and building meaningful realtionships with potential donors and partners. Individualized Consulting Specialized consulting in one-on-one and small group sessions provide specialized guidance in navigating the performing arts as business-minded professionals. Self-Production for Individual Artists and Small Companies Coming soon, this workshop is designed to offer performing artists a in-depth perspective of self-producing including contracts, budgeting, presenter needs, technical riders and stage management. Future activities may include administrative training for performing artists, round-table dialogue, community learning exchanges, resource mapping/building and the development and maintenance of effective information channels.
