CounterPointe3 - women making new work on pointe.

Norte Maar in collaboration with Brooklyn Ballet is now accepting submissions for the third annual performance series featuring emerging and established women choreographers making new work on pointe. We seek female choreographers who wish to present pieces on pointe of approx 3-13 minutes in length.

Investigating new and old territory CounterPointe highlights new work, opens up discussion, and creates a forum for women, young or old, emerging or established, to take risks. The series is dedicated to presenting the latest work that shows a depth of investment in ballet by women dance makers choreographing with the pointe shoe. The evening is curated by Julia K. Gleich.

The venue has an unobstructed marley floor over resilient wood. Basic lighting plot. Dimensions: 23 feet deep by 40 feet wide. No cross over and minimal wing space.
