Work Together

In these economic times we have to wok together. There are a couple of exciting things happening here at the Harman Center. One is Velocity DC which is a 2 night event that will showcase several local dance companies. The launch party was last night and very successful. The performances will be very affordable and an easy way for those not sure to venture into seeing dance. They will have short pieces from several styles. By doing this they will hopefully build their audience and do at little cost since they are all working together.

Another thing that I am working on is a “Gay Arts Weekend.” We are still working on a name for it but it will hopefully include the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, DC’s Different Drummers (the local Gay Band) and the local Gay Film Festival. I briefly talked about on a May posting in no detail. By putting all these groups together they will share in rental and labor cost and share in audience. In essence make their costs go down and income potentially rising by bringing three different yet similar audiences together.

In these times if we work with other groups and share resources and efforts I think we can make it through. I encourage other groups that don’t normally work together to find ways to do things together.
