Bodies of Knowledge
A Website dedicated to world-wide Continuing Training Opportunities for professionals working in the performing arts.
Dear Friend
B
odies of Knowledge will be a one-stop shop for professionals interested in continuing training and development. The site will be called www.bodiesofknowledge.org
Continuing training and development in the performing arts is a world-wide phenomenon. Teachers from across the world give workshops and courses to professionals who are equally international. The World Wide Web is the perfect means of delivering up-to-date information about such continuing training opportunities.
Bodies of Knowledge will carry details of the world’s major organisations and artists involved in leading and promoting workshops and other practice-based opportunities. The work covers the full spectrum of the performing arts from Butoh to Biomechanics, Commedia dell’Arte to Contact Improvisation, Live Art to the Theatre of Objects, Circus to Site-Specific Theatre.
One part of the site will list promoting organisations according to art-form and country. Another will list artists who are regularly invited to lead workshops throughout the world. We aim to have 200 organisations and artists listed when the website is launched in September 2006.
If you want to be listed on the website please visit the following site http://primesolid.com/bok/ fill out the form that you will find there and then click ‘Register’.
Thanks for you support and all best wishes.
