Work with Minnesota Dance Task Force (MNDTF aka Task Force) members to plan and facilitate a series of community meetings meant to gather information from the dance community about their current experiences, needs, and dreams. The desired outcome from those meetings is to generate a framework and implementation steps for the creation of a service organization to support Minnesota dance artists and intentionally move toward an equitable dance ecosystem.
To accomplish these objectives, the Task Force has identified a two-phased process:
Phase I: Three small-community focus groups, identical in format to gather broad and deep input about the community’s desires from a service organization. These meetings will be held in a variety of locations in the state.
Phase II: Two larger community-wide meetings to review those needs and identify a strategy for moving forward, which we project will include identifying a Steering Committee to spearhead that work. These meetings will be hosted by The McKnight Foundation.
It is expected that this work will be completed between January and July 2025. Read the full RFP here. To apply, send the requested information to mndancetaskforce@gmail.com.
