Monkeyhouse & the Media

by karen Krolak

As we settle into the start of Monkeyhouse's 10th Anniversary season, I keep focusing on how many unsung heroes have contributed to the success of our organization. Today I would like to thank all of the passionate dance writers who have covered our events and the newspapers, magazines, and websites who publish their work. Realizing how difficult it is to keep publications afloat and how freelance journalists must constantly cajole editors, I am amazed at how many articles have been written about Monkeyhouse. In the last few weeks, for example, we have appeared Boston Globe's Fall Arts Preview, Boston Phoenix's Fall Arts Preview, Dover Sherborn Hometown Weekly's Photo Gallery,
a Dover Sherborn Hometown Weekly article on Monkeyhouse and Bosoma, and Boston.com's post about Dance in the Fells.

I would like to especially thank Deb Cash, Tedd Bale, Eva Yaa Asantewaa, Karen Campbell, Carly Carioli, Thea Singer, Marcia Seigel, Steve Maas, Wendy Perron, and Phil Maddox. Your observations have sparked interest from new audience members, fortified our grant applications, encouraged relationships with new presenters, improved future iterations of pieces, and inspired this blog. Monkeyhouse is extremely fortunate that the Boston Globe, Boston Magazine, Boston Phoenix, Boston Herald, Natick Tab, Village Voice, Dover Sherborn Press, Dover Sherborn Hometown Weekly, Dance Magazine, Vanity Fair and dozens more publications have featured us.

Finally, I would like to ask a small favor of you, dear blog reader. When you puruse an article that prompts you to attend a performance, or demystifies a choreographer's work, please take a second to drop an email to the writer or to her editor. Your voice matters and could be a catalyst for more arts coverage.
