Virtual NPAC Website Launched |
In 2008, thousands of members of the performing arts community—including many of you—came together in Denver for the National Performing Arts Convention and, through a participatory town hall process, identified the five priority areas—advocacy, artists, education, diversity, and technology—to work on together to build a better future for the performing arts.
Five task forces then identified key actions to move each priority forward. It quickly became clear that a new, open, and accessible way of convening as a performing arts community was a need for every priority area. To facilitate this, NPAC has created and launched Virtual NPAC at performingartsconvention.org.
Virtual NPAC has collected information from the annual conferences and constituencies of NPAC partner organizations (the American Music Center, Chorus America, Dance/USA, the League of American Orchestras, OPERA America, and Theatre Communications Group). The site feautres live-streamed sessions, recorded presentations, discussion, tweets, blogs, vlogs, and more.

Food for Thought:
Children Who Sing Together Cooperate More |
"Singing together appears to inspire spontaneous cooperative and helpful behavior among four-year-olds. That’s the conclusion of new research that provides support for an intriguing theory regarding the evolutionary origins of music." Read about the research from psychologists Sebastian Kirschner and Michael Tomasello (Miller-McCune.com). |
