You really should meet each other!
We have begun a new initiative to celebrate the creative folks who make up our membership. We will, occasionally, send out by email and to our membership and supporters, member info...dance class opportunities in town, art openings, news of successes. The idea is to introduce you to who our members are and how wonderful they are. You will get to know them furhter at our shows because they are always there!
These notes will celebrate creativity and opportunities and all of the events that make Nanaimo a fun and artsy place to live.
We will always put "Celebrating our members" in the subject heading. That way, if you are too busy to read them or dis-inclined, you can hit the delete button and voila!...no problem. Do let us know if you are irked by their arrival. We will do our best to filter only to those interested in receiving. Again, we will do this conservatively and as diplomatically as possible.
Enjoy your life and each other....
celebrate often!
The Voice of Our Youth:
The Body Talk Youth Council
Earn while you learn!
The Body Talk Cru is a group of teens/young adults (13 to 21) who enjoy opportunities for career explorations in the dance arts. Arts administration, curation, event planning, marketing, rehearsing and performing are all part of the discovery journey as the Cru produces The Body Talk Project each year.
Teamwork and leadership skills are learned as these young people contribute to our community through their efforts. Facilitation is through the Crimson Coast Dance Society.
Meetings generally take place twice per month and occasionally once per month or weekly! The new season and Cru begin to meet in September '09. Unofficially, anyone interested in participating in the Cru and selecting next years artists may join us June 9 at 3:30 (to 5pm) and on remaining Mondays through June. The Cru will break for July and August except for contact through Facebook as required or desired.
Cru members have access to all of Crimson Coast Dance Society's programming and events, workshops and performances. They have the opportunity to bring their friends along and they receive an honorarium for their efforts at the end of the season.
Call today if you are interested in joining the Cru or if you have any questions: 250.716.3230 or email: dance@crimsoncoast.org
