   I would like to see more new choreography in progress. I am definitely not looking for ‘hows’ and ‘meanings’ behind new work… just the work itself. I have always enjoyed watching the process and from backstage more than from the audience. Thanks.

   I love hearing how dancers use non-dance inspiration to feed their work-books, art, theatre, food, family, whatever it may be. I also love seeing how dancers and choreographers collaborate (for instance, like much of the F Wiseman documentary on POB): how a new work comes together, or how older works are passed on to new dancers. I’d also love to see more young up-and-comers talk about the challenges of building their careers.

   Though the focus of DancePulp is the professional world, I think it would be beneficial and interesting for viewers to see more footage from the final transitions of student to professional. I find the varying routes to company life to be interesting, whether it be the experiences of trainee/apprentice programs, university settings, or pre-professional programs.

   Hi!

   I am very happy to find that a website like this exists for dance artists! I would love to hear more about current progressive ideas in contemporary ballet work
   and advice about apprenticeships. Thanks!

     Hi Christine, thanks for your input! What sort of specific advice about apprenticeships would you like…. would you like to know about companies with apprenticeship programs or something else? Hope we can provide you with valuable resources. We have some contemporary choreographers’ videos coming out that will give you an isight to their ideas and inspiration. Thanks for visiting!

   I think it might be interesting to point out how dancers can brand and market themselves. Obviously having the skills, talent and training are important, but in the current world of technology and job crunches, there should be some more advice out there about how to make sure you’re noted all in one place.
