I'm delighted to announce my participation in Guess Who's in The Greenroom, a program of the Gibney Dance Center that offers free half-hour, 1:1 consultations with leaders in the dance field.

And, happily, you'll have your choice of two dates to consult with me:

*Thursday, August 9, 11:00 am - 2:00 pm

*Thursday, September 6, 11:00 am - 2:00 pm

*See below for RSVP instructions.

Here's my topic:

Pitch Your Show to A Dance Writer: Does Your Promotion Work?

Bring existing materials (press release, brochure, postcard, mission statement--whatever you'd use to promote and pitch your show) or just talk to me about your upcoming project, and I'll help you find strategies to improve your chances of getting noticed and covered. Time permitting, I can also take a quick look at your Web site, photos and brief video clips to assess how well each serves your efforts.

These two events are offered by Gibney Dance Center in partnership with Collective for Dance Writing and New Media.

Gibney Dance Center
890 Broadway, 5th Floor (between 19th and 20th Streets), Manhattan

*Reservations are required. Reserve your free half-hour by emailing allie@gibneydance.org
