Reading group input wanted

Request for interest / feedback
Study Group – but in a good way

Dancemakers is interested in starting and facilitating some kind of on-going peer-to-peer discussion / reading / learning group.

It might include assigned readings, discussions of those readings, special guests, field trips, show and tells and other things.

We’d like it to be broad – visual art, architecture, games, social theory, performance criticism, gardening, radio, what ever our curiosity finds – all relating back to making and performing dances and other things in the early days of the century.

This is a response to the lack of structured group learning after (or maybe even during) our formal training.

We’d like to make sure it stays fun (even if sometimes in the “hard fun” sense) open to lots of experience levels while developing a high level of conversation, thinking and doing – so suggestions on that would be great.

Basically, at this point we’d like to know if anyone would be interested in such a thing, and what kind of thing would be most interesting.

For example:
How often? (every 2 weeks, monthly?)
Day / Time (Monday nights etc…)
How long?
What subjects?
(What) Would you be able / willing to pay?
What might make you more interested?
Would you commit to a series?

You can leave thoughts in the comments or email jacob@dancemakers.org

Thanks very much
Jacob

Yep, sounds great. Been thinking about something similar. Certainly interested. How about monthly?
