Importance Of An Online Performing Artist Community

By Susan Campbell


There are a number of social networking websites which hosts information for individuals interested in the arts. Many in the online performing artist community have been using these sites for information and to establish a presence on the web. Whether an individual is interested in art, dance, music, poetry, theater or other areas of the art world these networking oriented websites have a lot to offer.

Individuals may also want to look for local organizations which focus on a specific art such as dance or music. These sites often provide information on local events, performances and venues. In some cases, these social networking sites will also allow members to communicate with one another on discussion boards and forums.

Like Facebook, Twitter and other social networking platforms, these local organizations often allow individuals to create a profile, post comments and share events. Other features include posts from conductors, dance studios, teachers, theater staff, directors and others. One of the most commonly used aspects of these sites is that of audio and video content which musicians and fans can view online.

Since the inception of the internet, online radio stations have become more prevalent. Last.fm and other sites operated and run by listeners allow individuals to focus on specific music, news and announcements. Whereas, it is often rare to find a local or national radio station offering only the type announcements, music or news individuals wish to hear.

When it comes to communities related to chanting, choral or vocal music, these are few and far between. Two of the best of these is that of ChoralNet and iSingYouWatch and others related to generalized singing. Performing artists working with opera and other vocal work may want to perform a dedicated online search based on a specific style.

Dance communities include those related to one style and those which are inclusive of a number of different styles. The Voice of Dance and DanceMedia are two of the most popular online dance communities on the web. There are also organizations which offer weekly and bi-weekly dances, summer dance camps and other events. Some of these include Dance Freedom, Dance New England and Barefoot Boogie. While most who attend these dances and events are locals, professional dancers have also been known to attend these events.

Other organizations include those which encompass all the arts. Some of these include The McKnight Foundation, The Walker Center For The Arts, and the Minneapolis Artists Collective. Another foundation in New England focuses on hosting a directory for companies and individuals seeking to locate talent for events. Individuals can also find out more information about performance venues and availability through these different organizations.

Actors, artists, dancers, instructors, musicians and others in the art world have all benefited from these social networking websites. There are organizations which have existed for quite some time and others which are new. To locate the site best suited for personal needs, type artist organizations into any search engine, then click on any items of interest.
