Check out these great tips on audience engagement from EDA:

The term “audience engagement” is recognized by dance professionals to indicate emerging practices and new attitudes about the inter-relationships among artists, presenters, and audiences, going well beyond accustomed practices of marketing, outreach, and audience development. Here are four tips to keep in mind:

1. Invites audiences to be participatory rather than passive and values their involvement. By being actively two-way rather than presentational, it empowers people to better understand, appreciate, and connect with the meaning and impact of the art experience.
2. May be tied to specific performances, but also may occur independently. Some practitioners see “audience engagement” as blurring the line with the art making itself. It deepens relationships with existing viewers and also builds connections among prospective audiences.
3. Plans in good faith that a more knowledgeable and involved audience will lead to better sales or donations and will attract new faces. The outcomes of engagement practices, however, are not attendance or ticket sales alone, but other kinds of impacts. It appreciates that everyone will react differently to the art, and celebrates the diversity of impact.
4. Inevitably involves risk, investment and innovation.

• Give your offering an understandable title – you want anyone reading the title of an offering to have enough of a sense of what it is that they will want to click on it to learn more.

• Get to the point – try not to make your offering too text heavy. Readers will want to be able to learn quickly what your experience is all about.

• Use “you” language – write your offering so that the wording describes what the buyer will receive as opposed to what you will offer them.  This can help the reader envision themselves taking part in the experience.

• Be specific – make your description as specific as possible so that the reader will really know what to expect from the experience. This can also make what you are offering more concrete, and make it easier for a buyer to envision themselves taking part in the experience.

• End with a call to action – it is a good idea to end your experience description by telling the reader a simple, clear action that they can take to book the experience with you. This may be as simple as inviting them to click the “Yes, I’m interested!” button to contact you.
