Since launching in May, the Urdang International website has continued to evolve. At JunglEcho, we work with the team on ongoing updates, helping the site keep pace with its businesses, programmes and international events.

Led by Solange Urdang OBE, Urdang International connects performing arts education with opportunities across the professional industry. Its website brings that work together, giving performers, parents, teachers and creative businesses a place to explore what is available and find their next step.

Bringing the Urdang network together

A website serving several connected businesses needs to help different visitors find the information that matters to them. A teacher might be exploring Urdang International Awards, including performing arts examinations, awards and programme pathways. A dancer could be looking for a workshop or competition through GPAA Events.

The wider network also includes Urdang International UAE, Solange Urdang Productions, Link Artists and West End Central. Bringing these connections into one hub gives visitors a broader view of Urdang’s work, with direct routes to each business and opportunity.

Our work continues after launch

Launching the website was the beginning of an ongoing collaboration. As Urdang’s programme develops, we continue making updates and improvements so the site reflects what the organisation is doing now.

A parent looking for workshop information needs a different route from a school exploring awards or a creative professional researching productions. Keeping those journeys clear is an important part of supporting the website as it grows.
