Dance South West

After many months of hard work and alas a little later than we’d originally hoped, we’re pleased to announce that the new danceandtheatrecornwall.co.uk site is finally here.

What’s this website all about then?

www.danceandtheatrecornwall.co.uk works differently from most websites. Anyone with an interested in dance or theatre in Cornwall is welcome to join and contribute content to the site. Joining is free and takes just a few minutes . All listings are free and all are treated equally*. If you live in Cornwall or work for a Cornwall based organisation you can also build you own page in the DTC directory. The directory aims to be a comprehensive map of all dance and theatre related activity in Cornwall. Your directory page is much more than just a basic listing, you can add multiple images and details of your key projects and your organisation’s staff. And if you add other content to the site such as what’s on listings or jobs, these can be linked to your profile so that visitors can get as complete a picture of you and your work or practice as possible. Please check it out for all the latest listings, news, jobs and opportunities and much more www.danceandtheatrecornwall.co.uk
