well the degree course is not working properly in its entirety, if people are shown how to organise events but for various reasons do not. padgett talks about many performers who do not support events, it is very simple "use it or lose it" .
If there are too few venues and a surplus of performers, the only way around it is for an increase in venues, probably what is sensible is a 20 percent increase, it is up to pro and semi pro performers to organise events themselves, and perhaps once a month or fortnight.turn up and do a floor spot, this would hopefully help to bring up standards of performance and attendance. my argument may have flaws but can anone suggest a better idea
