The web is a constantly evolving frontier of information and imagery and yet dance companies struggle to keep up with what the web demands in terms of development. Dance video is a favourite on YouTube and yet this is awash with a myriad of choices and the site does not attempt to guide the user except in the popularity stakes.
The web is potentially a great ally, it provides the sector with a global reach, and dance is well suited to be attractive in this arena. However, we are in an industry transfixed and geared towards the physical. This debate focuses on the now and the future potential of dance in the digital arena.
Jonnie Turpie, Co-Director of Dance TV and Director of Digital Media at Maverick TV, chairs this debate around the importance of the digital medium in today’s world, joined by a panel of industry professionals.
Panel members include:
- Janet Archer, Arts Council England
- Nick Lockey, Maverick TV
- Ian Myatt, BBC Future Media & Technology
- Chris Unitt, Meshed Media
The debate will include a Q&A session and will be followed by a networking lunch (13:45-14:15).
