Background - The New Zealand Dance Industry Strategy

In May 2008 a series of forums were held in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch where people from a range of genres and roles in dance voiced their thoughts and desires for a strong and unified dance industry.

Out of these the New Zealand Dance Industry Strategy was developed. The strategy was published in September 2008.

Following this Voices from the Forums, a candid collection of dance industry thoughts, from the forums and written feedback, was published on the DANZ website.

This Blueprint is the third part of the process. It describes HOW we can resolve some of the issues and approach the actions outlined in the strategy.

The success of the strategy relies on proactive collaboration and involvement. Without this the dance industry will not have the capacity to undertake all of this work. With commitment across the industry however we could see a major change in New Zealand dance. A strategy of this size is only useful if people and organisations know how they can engage and who their partners will be.
