NDEO Private Sector Special Interest Group (SIG) Name Change to Independent Sector (approve/reject)
The NDEO Private Sector Special Interest Group (SIG) Committee Members have been reflecting on a name change since Pre-Conference Session 2020 that thoughtfully captures the essence of the members that populate this SIG. In order to capture the expansive range of members within this SIG and be inclusive of the widening dance ecosystem, a name change to Independent Sector came forth.
The rationale for this change is the following: The word “Private” alludes to privileged and restricted accessibility. We are not private. We are a collective of independent, creative entrepreneurs, working artists, and dance educators that are not typically overseen, funded or given resources by institutional organizations and/or government entities.
We are independent contractors, independent choreographers, independent dance teachers, independent teaching artists, independent dance adjudicators, independent studio owners, independent artists and we are ALL independent dance educators.
