Emerging Choreographers: Make Fresh Tracks at DTW
Posted by Emily Bowles, on June 14, 2010 - 0 comments
Tags: residencies, dance, audition

Through its Fresh Tracks Performance and Residency Program, Dance Theater Workshop (DTW) provides an opportunity for new artistic voices in the field of dance to gain professional experience and recognition. 

 

The Fresh Tracks program engages artists directly with peer artists, arts professionals, and DTW staff in dialogues about their work within the context of the professional contemporary dance and performance field.  Auditions are held at Dance Theater Workshop in the early fall.  In the spring, each member of the chosen group receives a 50-hour creative residency along with introductory level professional development workshops in marketing, fundraising, and career development strategies.

 

Of the 60 audition slots, 40 will be assigned randomly to artists who submit a form via U.S. mail.  The remaining 20 slots will be assigned based on recommendations from individuals invited by DTW. 

 

Requests for an audition must be postmarked by June 28, 2010.  To download the audition application form and learn more about the program, click here.

 

Tour the Bronx Arts Scene by Trolley -- Tonight!

Maybe it's because of all those episodes of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" that I watched as a child, but I just can't resist a trolley ride.  And why should one resist at all when the trolley will take you to the hottest arts and culture spots in the Bronx?

 

It's the first Wednesday of the month, so hop aboard the Bronx Culture Trolley tonight. 

 

NewYorkology's Anna Links calls it "not your mama’s gallery walk...Much more than a wine and cheese gallery reception, the Culture Trolley experience is essentially an open house for the South Bronx’s lively arts scene... On a standard trolley night, the [Bronx Council on the Arts] arranges an itinerary that includes music, theater, visual arts, vendors, openings, private tours, poetry readings and dance. It’s a showcase, and the Bronx is proud of what it has to show you."

 

Catch the trolley at Longwood Art Gallery @ Hostos, on the campus of Hostos Community College at 450 Grand Concourse. It departs at 5:30, 6:30, and 7:30 PM for other venues in the South Bronx Cultural Corridor.   You'll want this venue information, featured acts, and a map. 

 

Thank you, Bronx Council on the Arts, for making the trolley ride and admission to participating venues along its route free.  All aboard!  Lady Elaine Fairchild would approve...

From our collagues at The Field:


Field Artist Residency: Summer Applications Due Monday, June 7th


The Field Artist Residency supports the creative endeavors of artists as they work toward an upcoming production.

This summer, nine artists will be selected to develop their work with the support of a regular rehearsal schedule. Participants receive three months of rehearsal space and an individual consultation at The Field. Artists can use the residency to begin a new piece, rehearse an existing work, or engage in related creative processes that will move them toward a solid performance run. A consultation is offered for feedback on written materials, or to discuss project planning, goals, working challenges, fundraising or marketing plans, or other topics.

 

Let's summarize.  For $325 participants receive:


* More than 65 hours of rehearsal space (that's $5 per hour!)


* One individual consultation


Nine artists will be selected to develop their work with the support of a regular rehearsal schedule, June 28 to September 19.

 

The program is currently only open to dance artists. Eligible applicants have a full or half-evening performance date confirmed with a theater (or other venue open to the public) between September 5, 2010 and September 19, 2011. Both self-produced and presented productions are welcome. You do not have to be a Field Member to apply.

 

Applications Due Monday, June 7th @ 5 PM (in office).

Free Space in Tribeca as Your "Blank Canvas"

Space on White, a new facility in Tribeca, is seeking an innovative, artistic NYC organization to be its resident company.  And they hope to find one through a video contest that they are calling "The Blank Canvas Giveaway"!

 

If you are an artistic, theatre, dance, music or production company looking for a rehearsal and performance "home", develop a short performance skit on video (1-4 minutes), showcasing your organization’s talents and mission while answering Space on White's prompt question: “What could you do with Space on White as your blank canvas?”  More contest details are available here.

 

There will be two winners chosen: 

 

FIRST PLACE (by judges' vote): 80 hours of free space at Space on White, as well as a residency, which includes publicity through Space on White, storage space, and more.

 

SECOND PLACE (determined by highest number of views on the Space on White YouTube channel): 50 hours of free space at Space on White.
