Take Art, who administer the site, are trying to encourage more networking and creative interaction within Somerset.

"It can be really isolating for creative practitioners working within rural areas", says Sarah Peterkin Director of Take Art Theatre and Rural Touring. "Dance and Theatre Somerset is an online network that can help artists promote their events and share opportunities. If used well it could really make a difference to individual careers and the creative landscape of the county."

The website is part of the Albow family of sites which includes the hugely successful Theatre Bristol, Dance & Theatre Wilts, Theatre Glos, Theatre Devon, Activate Dorset and Dance & Theatre Cornwall.

This means that DanceAndTheatreSomerset.net is linked to a wider resource, which shares opportunities from across the UK.

To become part of the community you just need to visit the website and create a simple profile. That way you can add events and be kept in touch with all the latest news and jobs. You can now add dance classes to the site, to help keep your students up-to-date and encourage potential new participants to sign up.
