Dance/NYC Junior Committee Nears Launch of Dance Workforce Census

 

The Dance/NYC Junior Committee, together with the Bloustein Center for Survey Research (BCSR) at Rutgers University's Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy and under the advisement of Dance/NYC and Dance/USA, is conducting a Dance Workforce Census to document how a critical workforce in the dance field in NYC is surviving.

The aim is to count every individual 21-35 years of age who works in any capacity to support professional dance in New York City, including but not limited to:

• agents
• choreographers/creative artists
• consultants
• critics
• designers
• educators
• managers and all administrators
• performing artists
• production staff
• publicists
• technicians

The Committee's intention is to generate conversation among the communities and individuals that participate and to publish results that will serve as a tool for informed decision-making, on the part of peers, colleagues and employers, and all advocates for dance.
