Welcome, members of the Creativity Performing Arts Group! Creativity is the driving force
behind every artform, and so I hope our group's name will give it the purpose it needs. Our group is now global, with members from many different
countries around the world.
And as our group continues to expand, our members have unique perspectives and a multitude
of skills to offer. And so it makes sense to use these skills, as we build our group into a full scale network. To this end, you as a member, are more than welcome to
contact and to network with fellow members, to share connections, resources and
ideas. For example:
Writers – the plan is to set up a team blog for members, to post
articles about performing arts issues. Also, in the spirit of an arts group, a newsletter to our members would be a good idea. For now, we will use this blog to post
articles to. Think of it as a rehearsal space for the main event: this being a
full blown Wordpress blog or similar arrangement.
Media and social media professionals – with our group
members based in many countries worldwide, it is only fair to have updates from
each part of the world. And with so many arts events worldwide, we can put together a global calendar, of our festivals and showcases. With your many skills and knowledge, we could also set up new social media groups, such as connections on Skype to talk face to face, or even a WhatsApp group for instant messaging.
Teachers – many of our members like yourselves teach for the artistic professions, and at
least one has mentioned he is looking for teaching opportunity. So I think it
is worth setting up a Teachers’ group, for education in the arts. If you teach, then there are many fellow teachers here to build an 'Arts Ed' group with.
Leaders and Organisers - The ultimate goal of our group, is for it to become a self-sustaining network for the arts, run by all, for the benefit of all. While there are many groups for the artistic professions on
Facebook and Instagram, I still believe that there needs to be a bigger
presence here on Linkedin, to shape the business perspective of those who fund
our members’ work.
Here is one example of a platform we could use to make that happen: http://www.globalvaluexchange.org/

I also believe that we can learn a lot from professional
sports, to engage the fans in such a way as to give the arts the dedicated
following that it needs. Your ideas and suggestions on this are more than welcome.
Conclusion
As our group continues to expand, there are many networking opportunities to share and exchange connections, ideas and resources. And by utilising our members' many skills and much experience, we can build many new resources, to create a great network for the performing arts.
Let's do this!
