Dundee Rep Board Meeting

On Tuesday evening I attended a meeting of the board of Dundee Rep. This was somewhat different to normal board or committee meeting in that we were treated to a performance by Scottish Dance Theatre during the board meeting. I'm not sure that the City Council's Chief Executive will be putting on entertainment in the middle of council meetings any time soon. The board meeting heard about an exciting programme at the Rep over the next few months and also into next year.

There was also very interesting news about the Pathways to the Profession Symposium which Scottish Dance Theatre is leading on. This will be held in Dundee in January and will look at the issues around routes into the performance arts for disabled people. This will build on the excellent work done at the Rep by the Dance Agent for Change Caroline Bowditch.

I had the chance to see some of the work of Scottish Dance Theatre last week at the Great Big Dance Show where there was also performances from a wide range of other dance groups it was a really good event.
