I believe Dr. Foley should. Having listened to her and the other panellists, who know the heartbeat of their art form, they need to start making the case for it to the relevant Ministers, including the Ministers responsible for social welfare, education and the arts. We can do it but the delegates are the purveyors of their own art form. They need to have a great voice.

I saw recently on an TED video professional dancers explain a concept in physics using dance. This indicates the intelligence of dance. It is said that if we could dance the idea of a war, we would never go to war.
