Panta Rei Dance Theatre: Dance Theatre company based is Oslo, Norway, for touring great work to the little ones (school kids who sometimes aint' so little) in a country so expensive it makes our intrepid correspondent want to cry! At least the dancers only have to pay a 15% 'artists' tax, now why don't we have something like that?
Watch out next week for an exclusive video feature, yes, the Norwegians are coming!!
Arts Council England: For botching yet another Freedom of Information request. It not only illustrates that they can't even track down paperwork to comply with the law but the amount of paperwork is so small it appears they pay very little attention to the projects they spend large sums of money on, how many ways can we say 'oversight'?
The Place: The London based dance stronghold continues with the folly that is The Place Prize for no other reason than the publicity, such as it is. Puerile competitions and audience voting are not the way forward for the arts and especially not dance which is too mis-managed as it is without bringing the public into the mix!
Stumble It!
