HELP US BROADEN OUR OUTREACH for CQ material: CURATE an article. Document the work of teachers, colleagues, students, and collaborators whose work excites, challenges, informs, and/or inspires you. Record WHAT’S HAPPENING around you in the field of dance, improvisation, and performance. Interview someone; take notes at a workshop; review a performance; write short snapshots/portraits of people, events, situations. You conceive and curate the piece; we publish. Call or email us for encouragement, suggestions, specifications, and other details.

Not up for making an article but have something to say? Write a LETTER. We love getting mail from you and review all of our mail for possible publication. If you don’t want your correspondence printed, please let us know.
