Best Performing Arts Colleges

Effective self-promotion is key to maintaining a successful career in the performing arts. We must be able to show and tell what we do on a fairly constant basis in order to get noticed and build on our successes. Among the essential documents in the presentation materials of the performing artist is the bio. BIO, short for biography, is written in prose (or narrative form) and introduces you as a performer. While the show aspect of your talent is displayed in your CD or DVD demo, and demonstrated in live and broadcast performances, the bio provides you with the opportunity to tell something about yourself and present your expertise and experience in a carefully thought out manner. A bio highlights your career accomplishments; it is not the place to explain the meaning of your work. Artist statements take care of that.
