new dance collective - Adelaide

Ok, so you mean that if I wrote: "I'm planning on setting up a business with my friends, and invite others to join me as well as them. We are interested in hearing from people who want to produce new Australian theatre, so we can get started on our first project next year" is wrong? Because I don't actually post more info? Now, in the back of my mind, I might have already made some calculations. I figure maybe 20 or 30 people might email me, of those maybe 10 will follow up and 5 might actually turn up consistently. I have already got a budget in place for the first show; but am not keen on spreading out the information where it's publicly available on the net. When people do email me, I have the opportunity to reply with much more detailed information, as well as attachments (say, a budget or business plan). More than that, my vision for the group is to be a collaborative, with decisions made together, which makes some of the details rather hard to pin down on a business plan... Looking back on the thread, it is unclear whether Lotus is offering a collaborative performance group or teaching. However, I found no post made by them that stated they WOULD be teaching, just that they have taught dance before and would be helping choreograph. This is why I inferred that it would be more of a collaborative group. More importantly, we're presupposing that Lotus Dance hasn't created a fully formed business plan, or chatted to an accountant or lawyer. We're presupposing that perhaps some of the details (like insurance, which obviously can't get quoted without knowing the number of members and number of teachers involved) might not be flexible. Just because they don't have it listed on their post doesn't mean that they haven't considered it. From the thread, I don't know either way. And in our industry, there is more than one way to start a business - not just by following the business plan/budget/sponsorship plan followed by corporate companies. But let me ask you this - if they had NOT used the word "business" in the ad, would you change your opinion of how they presented the idea or think of it as suspicious? ...Now I'm really not going to reply anymore. There is a clear difference of opinion and as they say: never the twain shall meet.
