Kismet News!
Great News!
First: In cased you missed it: one of the co-founders of Kismet was on the radio a couple of weeks ago. Jessica Dawn spoke about Kismet and ME Dance with Kim Harris on her show, Dialogues with Kim. If you did miss it, you can listen to a replay of the show: :www.blogtalkradio.com/KimDial...nization
Sobering News
Kismet Dallas has cut back their events for the end of 2009 and 2010 season. Many of us are feeling the financial pinch of the times and can't afford frequent nights out, so we are shooting for the "less is more" in 2010. Our last show in Dallas will be September and our last show in Fort Worth will be the annual Oct. event.
Kismet Board
The Kismet board has taken a hit this summer. Due to time constraints, Catherine, our wonderful treasurer has resigned her position. Our talented Secretary, Mel, has also resigned.
We are looking to the ME community for help, the last time we had an open position- we had two (2) applicants. This was a blow to us as we feel that what Kismet offers is worth supporting.
Kismet had started out as a 5 person project, after many years and many changes we are now working on becoming a *community* project. It can no longer be supported by just a small group of people. Kismet is there to be of service to the ME community, by providing a warm, welcoming stage where *anyone* can perform for free. We are hoping that the community will return the favor and in turn offer it's support through time served on the board and time volunteered at the events themselves.
If not, the opportunity will not exist, and 2009 may well be the last year of Kismet Stage Events. (sounds very overly dramatic perhaps, however- it's the bald truth of the matter)
So vote with your feet, as the saying goes and let us know by your support if Kismet is important to you and/or your students. For a job description of either of the open positions on the board, please email: Kismet@kismetdance.org
