Fall Movement is part of CPR’s bi-annual festival (with Spring Movement) that presents new dance, performance, and time-based work in a shared program. The festival is curated by an independent review panel comprised of artists and community stakeholders. CPR invites individual artists, collectives, and companies to propose a live performance work that is 15-20 minutes in length, to be presented at CPR on December 2 and 3, 2022. CPR values experimental approaches to content, form, and aesthetic, and encourages risk-taking and the unexpected.

CPR is committed to supporting artists from every background, at various stages of their artistic careers, and across generations, and maintains an expansive approach to performance. We strongly encourage BIPOC artists, LGBTQ+ artists, immigrant artists, and artists with disabilities to apply.

PROGRAM DETAILS
Fall Movement will take place at CPR on Friday, December 2 and Saturday, December 3, 2022 at 7:30 PM. An honorarium of $250 is available for each selected project, which would be expected to be presented on both evenings. Each project will be allotted a 2-hour technical rehearsal with CPR production staff, as well as 2 hours of complimentary rehearsal time in one of CPR's studios, based on availability.

ELIGIBILITY
– Individual artists, collectives, or companies may apply, but each applicant/application will be considered as a unique project, and will receive a single honorarium of $250.
– While Fall Movement is not limited to NYC-based artists, CPR cannot provide US visas, travel, accommodations, or other living expenses in connection with the presentation.
– Current undergraduate students are not eligible to apply.
– CPR requires all artists, visitors, and staff to be fully-vaccinated against Covid-19, and to have a vaccine booster, if eligible.

THE SPACE
CPR's Large Studio which also doubles as the theater has a marley-covered sprung floor playing space of 45 ft wide by 26 ft deep, and is outfitted with an LED theatrical lighting system, full-range sound, and projection capabilities, can seat up to 60 people, and has white walls and white marley. We are open to unique ways of using CPR's space, including proposals for the Small Studio/Storefront Gallery (45 ft x 15 ft) for installation-based or durational work, which would override the 15-20 minute length requirement. CPR is a fully ADA-compliant and accessible venue with two gender-inclusive restrooms and one wheelchair-accessible restroom. A floor plan, images, and technical specifications can be found here.

APPLICATION TIMELINE
Applications will be accepted until Monday, May 30, 2022, at 5:00pm EST.

We expect to send notifications in June 2022 and to announce the program in August or September 2022 along with the announcement of CPR's 2022 Fall Season.

Please email applications@cprnyc.org with any questions. The panel looks forward to reviewing your application!
