DANCE DATA PROJECT® ANNOUNCES GENDER EQUITY INDEX TO EVALUATE DANCE COMPANIES – A FIRST FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS IN THE U.S.

Today, Dance Data Project® (DDP) is releasing the first-ever Gender Equity Index (GEI) for the U.S. dance industry in specific and performing arts in general. DDP’s GEI is designed to assess how dance companies measure up in terms of commissioning female creators, giving them leadership positions, and fostering a transparent and accountable culture. DDP’s Gender Equity Index is modeled on indices developed by Bloomberg, Equileap, Gender Fair, and ASU’s Women’s Power Index, among others.
