NORTHWEST DANCE PROJECT - PRETTY CREATIVES CHOREOGRAPHIC COMPETITION
An Opportunity for New Voices in Dance
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
DEADLINE: MARCH 31 / 2011
The Northwest Dance Project announces a call for entries for our annual Pretty Creatives Project to identify two emerging choreographers who will have an opportunity to create an original work during LAUNCH: 6.
Northwest Dance Project is committed to working with artists of diverse experiences and backgrounds, and utilizes the Pretty Creatives Project as a means of helping to develop new voices in dance. Previous winners include Maurice Causey of Nederlands Dans Theater,Lauren Edson of Trey McIntyre Project, Loni Landon, formerly of Ballet Theater Munich and James Gregg of BJM Danse.
Selected choreographers will participate in a six-day summer residency from July 18 to 23, 2011 during our
LAUNCH: 6 Project. During the residency period, selected choreographers will be offered a 3-hour daily creative period during which they will have an open forum to create and develop new choreographic material. An informal presentation of the resulting “works-in-progress” or completed works will be shown on the final day and open to the public. Choreographers will be asked to work with all our LAUNCH dancers, but choreography can be developed on a smaller group of dancers. Northwest Dance Project's Artistic Director, Sarah Slipper, will help guide this residency.
The residency includes:
• Creative Honorarium
• 6 days of rehearsal time with the dancers (18 hours)
• Travel to and from Portland, per diem and accommodation
All Application Details can be found at nwdanceproject.org
