Writing is great and, as a writer, I'd never knock it, but I'm beginning to realize that what the American audience needs is lively and informative contact with dancers and dancemakers. The 'Net provides the dance field the opportunity to use audio and video to tell its stories in a more colorful, intimate and persuasive way, and I also believe that it's time for more dance-related events such as panels and other face-to-face presentations that are both entertaining and educational. What's clear is that mainstream publishing is in an economic downturn and including or increasing smart coverage of dance is not in the cards. So, we have to look elsewhere, and we have to be prepared to create new forms. I think it's exciting!
