This is my first foray into the world of blogging and I’m already filled with trepidation having barely begun. As you might glean, I’m not the most avid user of internet social networks – the delights of myspace, bebo, msn messenger having passed me by completely in my schooldays before I finally succumbed to the pull of facebook several years down the line…
Cue training with Juliet Brain on ‘Making It Work’ as a self-employed artist and it seems the recurring theme of the day is social networking in a professional capacity…aargh! So here I am taking my first cautious steps (albeit under duress) into new online territory and contemplating the somewhat abhorrent idea that my New Year’s Resolution should see me engaging in online networking and going as far as, dare I say it…joining twitter.
Ok, so taking a deep breath – having made it this far unscathed – I should probably get round to introducing myself:

I’m Effie, contemporary dancer and workshop leader (with a shady background in Musical Theatre as well!). At the moment, I’ll often be found dancing about maths in primary schools all over the country alongside other performance projects that crop up here and there. What does the future hold? Who knows, hopefully there’ll be lots more opportunity to perform and engage others with the wonderful world of contemporary dance…
…and for the time being I suppose I’d better get on with fulfilling that New Year’s Resolution!
Effie @EffieMWard
Well done Effie, welcome to the world of social media and social networking! Thanks everyone for stopping by, if you don't know what this is all about already, then let me introduce you to some of this years, third tranche of Young Creative Leaders about to step up and step out... http://www.oyap.org.uk/currentProjects.html
