DUMBO fest wants your site-specific dance

2010 DUMBO DANCE FESTIVAL - CALL FOR ARTISTS

Call for site-specific works

Application Deadline: Postmarked August 15, 2010

In celebration of our 10th anniversary WHITE WAVE is proposing a series of site-specific dance works to be performed in seven outdoor spaces throughout DUMBO during the 2010 DUMBO DANCE FESTIVAL. The seven sites are situated within two designated areas: the Brooklyn Bridge Park (near the entrance at Washington and Plymouth Streets), and along the Pier 1 waterfront (entrance at Old Fulton and Water Streets) in DUMBO Brooklyn.

There is no application fee to apply.

Ideally we would like these pieces to be collaborations between dancers, movement artists and multimedia artists of all kinds: musicians, composers, fashion/costume designers, video artists, photographers etc. You may apply as collaborators or as individual artists who we will match together. We are primarily a dance festival but are open to creative applications from artists in different media who can make a strong case for the way their work would fit in a dance context.

Be imaginative. Your proposals will be reviewed, selected and curated by a committee headed by Young Soon Kim, Artistic Director of WHITE WAVE. The sites are presented raw—i.e. no built stages, sound systems, lights, electricity: All production value for the site specific pieces will be self-generated. Successful applications will propose flexible performances that are adaptable to shifting circumstances and enthusiastic about the creative potential of collaboration with other artists. Applicants are encouraged to present new work.

Before you submit your application, we strongly suggest that you visit the site – specific designated areas in person.

We are excited to offer this opportunity and to see your submissions!
