Dance@DMAC wants you!

Dance@DMAC, directed by Michelangelo Alasa, announces its second new works commission series. Last fall's series featured choreography by Keely Garfield, Julian Barnett, Maria Hassabi, Anna Sperber and Alex Escalante.

Alasa writes: As we expand our dance programming, DMAC is seeking to commission 10 new dance works. The new works will be premiered during the first two weeks of June 2009 at our beautiful turn-of-the-century playhouse. Each program will consist of 3-4 new works no longer than 10 minutes in length and will be presented on three separate evenings. Choreographers will receive a commission fee of $500.00 and adequate rehearsal time in one of our studios. If you would like to apply, please complete the form below.
