Company: MELLE.

Compensation: Ticket sales split between choreographers
Boston WiP is a low stakes platform for dance and performing artists to present movement driven work. This first installment (of what we hope will be a bi-annual showcase) will be held in the Jackson Gym Dance Lab at Tufts University. We invite all forms of movement driven performance from artists at any stage of their professional career.
Show Date: May 13, 2023 at 7:00pm

*Each artist will receive lights up, down, and one additional cue.

*Tickets to the performance are donation-based (suggested donation of $10) and all ticket sales will be split between the choreographers.
*After the show there will be open time to mingle and speak to the audience members/fellow artists about the performances.
Expectations if selected:
*We ask that you stay as close to your proposed length as possible.
*We will ask for one photo (JPEG or PNG) to include in our digital program and to use as promotional material for marketing purposes.
*The choreographer and a majority of the performers must be available to attend a 20 minute tech/spacing rehearsal between 9am and 4pm on May 13th. Call time for the show is 6:15pm.
