"10 majors resources for Dance Industry in London"








These following websites, forums and blogs will be used in order to understand the quality and quantity of the dancing exhibitions in London . These blogs will be used in order to for me to acquire a full understanding of the structure and the ways dance is originated, planned and put in practise .

1) http://www.london.gov.uk/danceexperience
This website is one of the main sources that I will use in order to understand the process of planning and executing a cultural event in London. This website was firstly created by London government in order to raise attention and awarness about the concept of dance and the way it is planned for tourists and for Londoners in the following ones. One of the most important programmes is called GLA and it was established in order to welcome new ideas and new planners for dancing events

2) http://www.timeout.com/danceperformances
This website is one of the most common and famous in London. This website refers to the famous English magazine Time Out who goes out every month and inform the audience about the events that will be happening in London in the upcoming weeks. There is a part of the magazine that refers to the cultural events with a list of festival and exhibitions that are worth to look at in order to understand which ones are interesting and which ones are not. This website can also be used as a public relation tool in order to understand what the audience , mainly the young one, want and expect from a cultural event.

3)http://www.viewlondon.ac.uk
This is another source that can be used to understand what is going in London and what kinds of festival the city is planning to execute in the upcoming months. By reading the commentaries of the audience who has participated in these events, I could use the suggestion that they had in order to improve my festival and make it as fumy and enjoyable as it can possibly be.
4) http://www.londonworlfestival.com/ /video
This page was created to welcome the audience at the London world festival who runs every year in London. One of the most important aspects of this website, except for its creative and colourful background is that there is a presenter who welcome the web- audience as well as the real audience and describe the main objectives and aims of the festival. I found it to be really interesting because not many festivals have that particular starting page . Most of festival websites start with the programme that they offer but not with a young nice hoister who speaks about the festival, in a understandable and simplistic way so that any person can easily understand him. This website showed the art of advertising and how effective it can be used to inform and to market an event.

5)http://www.twitter.com
As we have discussed in class, this is one of most popular websites for finding ou informations about events in Londo. This website is a easy and quick database that allow to discover what is going on in London and what the people think about a certain event. For example I found really interesting to notice the comments that people have left on the design festival website. These comments can be perceived as sources to find out if they liked the event and what suggestions they have to make it better for the following year.

6) http://www.artscouncil.org.uk
This website is a very important source for the financial part of my project. This website refers to the fund-raising strategy that the Art Council of England give to cultural events, epsecially for dancing projects. I found this website to be of particular interest because there are many publication published accordingly to the topics each of them relating with teh arts in London. there are specific reports of dancing companies and their main performance and shows.
7) http:// www.thefundingnetwork.org.uk/dance
This website is really interesting and can be easily used a source to assess the visibility and the functionality of dance schools and dance classes in London,. By having a complete list of newspapers in this website, the audience seem to be reassured of the seriousness of the organisation they are getting involved with.
8) http://www.blog.myspace.com
This is another interesting website that has been used to collect different comments from people of the audience who is used to go and attend cultural festival and exhibitions. In this website there are statistics demonstrating which target of audience is willing to go to and participate in a event like a festival. This source will be used to identify the best frame audience to which my campaign will be addressed to mostly.
9) http://www.forumevents /danceperformance
This website can be used as another resource by which I can understand how they plan an event. This website was created in order to enable senior executives to make informed decisions, develop relationships, and invaluable advice through networking and getting in touch with other people who work in the field of Art and Music.
10) http://www.mcmillian.org.uk
A final website that I found to be really useful is related to MacMillan Cancer charity organisation. This organisation is known to be a dedicated London based company , aiming at organising special events in the capital. Their main interest is to support unique events and help make a difference to the two million people living with or beyond cancer in the UK. This website will be used as a form of guide to plan and then present a cultural event that may be dedicated to raise fund for good cause as this agency does.
