Based on research conducted by Positive Solutions in early 2003, this report aims to provide:
- a clearer understanding of the subsidised dance sector in Australia
- a clearer understanding of the Australia Council's Dance Board's role in the funding and policy landscape
- guidance to the Dance Board to assist it in setting its priorities for expenditure and policy development over the next 3-5 years.
It makes 25 recommendations in four themes: promoting individual talent, maintaining a healthy dance ecology, building audiences now and in the future, and encouraging cooperation and providing leadership.
