Want to connect with other members of the Performing the World community? Want to stay in touch with friends and colleagues you've met at past PTW conferences? Want to share your work with others who are planning to be part of the festivities this October?

If your answer to any or all of these questions is YES, we invite you to take advantage of two new social networking sites that have been set up especially for PTW and our friends around the world.

Facebook. You can join the Performing the World Group on Facebook by clicking on http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=22078337496 and signing in using your Facebook account. If you don't have an account, it's easy - and free - to set one up. Then invite your friends to join as well!

Ning. You can share video and photos, create a portfolio, participate in online forums, and communicate with others on the Performing the World Social Networking space on Ning. Please visit http://performingtheworld.ning.com/ and create an account or login using your existing account.

Happy networking!
