CHOREOGRAPHERS + DANCE FILM MAKERS be a part of the CURRENT SESSIONS: Volume IV, Issue II. from August 22-24th, 2014 at the wild project in NYC. Opportunities not only to have your work be presented among other innovative artists, but to also share your creative process among curious minds during a workshop and/or be a part of our residency taking place at the Armitage Gone! Dance Studios at MANA Contemporary from July 16th to August 1st, 2014.

Now in its 3rd year, the CURRENT SESSIONS has built a reputation as an organization that offers a unique and memorable experience for dancemakers, their collaborators, and audience members alike, both on stage and off. SESSION after SESSION, we bring together a family of passionate artists, presenting well-crafted works from choreographers in NYC, the US and even abroad. We aim to exhibit what’s most fresh, raw, experimental to a broad and curious audience, and to continuously investigate what “contemporary” means.

Some of our most recent choreographers and companies include: Gregory Dolbashian/the DASH Ensemble, Kate Wallich’s the YC, Yin Yue Dance, Allison Jones Dance + A // V club, LoudHoundMovement and Kate Ladenheim / The People Movers.

Choreographers are encouraged to look at our “Curatorial Focus” below. It is not necessary that proposed works fit into any of these categories; they are merely ideas that we would like to see explored on our stage.

[CURATORIAL FOCUS]

The CURRENT SESSIONS is interested in seeing works that:

- have a dance theatre / performance art influence

- combine dance with media and technology

- are created in collaboration with a sound designer and/or feature live sound

- engage the audience through participation/unconventional use of space

- carry a broad message of awareness or activism (social, environmental, political etc.)

- utilize installation materials (minimal, due to space constraints)

We look forward to receiving your application!
