THE PROBLEM

After a year of turmoil, society needs a positive, engaging, and supportive community now more than ever. Humans crave support. Humans crave understanding. Humans crave inspiration.

THE SOLUTION

We are the first Performing Arts Educational Network to use only high-quality education with no intrinsic barrier. Our system provides a quicker and smaller learning curve, with faster speeds and more convenience than a normal, performing arts education but with better, more consistent results and without the risk of mental, physical, or financial stressors. 

The availability of both creation, education, and financial stability means that we can differentiate on price as well, offering an inexpensive, but high-quality on-demand experience for those not looking to set their creative paths in stone; as well as premium services with a more hands-on, mentorship-like approach for those looking to become professionals in their craft. 

OUR MARKET

Because our system exists virtually and we have locked in connections to 6 major countries, we are able to expand outside our regional barriers to service areas in every single demographic, there is no adverse effect on anyone's ability to utilize our services, since access to the general "Network" is free.

This allows us to have a truly exponential reach to advertise to, but also allows us to now slot people into 3 main categories specific to The Performing Arts.

  • Educators: 44%
  • Creators: 38%
  • Performers: 18%
Factor in the broad decline of the arts, entertainment, and recreation industry, the complementary rising popularity of individual practice and education, the cool factor attached to social media celebrities, the Industry's Networking Reach, and we see a great opportunity here.

OUR COMPETITION

Performing Arts have many options for getting a proper education, but all of the alternatives to our method have major flaws.

  • Performing Arts schools rely on high tuition fees and only offer closed off instruction.
  • Independently ran educational systems produce inconsistent results with varying staff year to year.
  • Adjudication based mentorships are slow, expensive, and out of touch with the needs of modern day education.
  • Learning on your own is nearly impossible: it’s not only an expensive, time consuming hassle, but it wastes far more energy than any other method, with zero confirmation that you are learning in a safe, healthy, and valuable way.
By comparison, The PAGE Network offers a compellingly fast, easy, safe, and fiscally responsible solution.

Why Us?

Our founder, Robert Jordan, is a successful Performing Arts Entrepreneur. After graduating from high school with years of marching band, color guard, drumline, and leadership training under his belt, he began to tour around the country with live performing ensembles in Marching Music’s Major League™, more popularly known as drum corps, and with ensembles in WGI's Sport of The Arts, more commonly known as winterguard

Having struggled with a neurodiversity all his life, he began to realize how many people were secretly struggling with similar things. He began to quickly see through his 446 virtual lesson students around the world, that a lot of them were dealing with some type of neurological or anxiety disorder.

An overwhelming amount of data showed that neurodiverse people are 142% more likely to join a sport or performing art.

Dr. James Borchers, director of the Division of Sports Medicine at Ohio State Wexner Medical Center states "...what we found was our athletes with ADHD were twice as likely to compete in team sports, and their rate of participation in contact sports, like football, hockey and lacrosse, was 142 percent higher."
If neurodiverse members of society are able to thrive in conditions meant for multiple things to do, learn, or even create, in tandem with a supportive, guaranteed, certified community, then this allows a consistent cyclical and habitual organic educational climate to emerge. One that is not directly focused on, but intrinsically aware of, and attentive to the neurological discrepancies that many of us face at different (or all) times in our lives.

This statement from Gensler's Research on Rebuilding Community in the Post-Pandemic World perfectly sums up why it's so important now, more than ever, to find a community:

"If we translate this desire for collaboration and person-to-person connection into types of space, we can see the shape of a hybrid community. Consider the “front porch,” a new feature of the Open Learning neighborhood, where members greet each other in-person and connect with remote members via virtual dashboards. They hang out and virtually chat with people sitting at home, and feel connected to a sense of purpose and community that extends well beyond the physical group."
The Performing Arts Communities are perfectly setup to offer this Open Learning Neighborhood (OLN).
