The 2024 Festival will provide opportunities to choreographers from all genres of dance forms to showcase work around the following themes:
1. EFFECT
2. EMERGE
3. EVOLVE
Proposed works should be new or recently re-worked with primarily new choreography. If invited to participate, artists should plan to show the same piece as described in their application.
The length of work can be between 5 and 25 minutes long.
* Works involving 4 or more dancers presented at the Festival may vary in lengths between 15 minutes and 25 minutes.
* Solos can be between 5 and 10 minutes in duration. This means, if anyone is applying with a solo, the piece needs to be between 5 and 10 min. But, a 5 to 10 min piece can have multiple dancers as well.
* If a piece is between 10 and 15 min, it should NOT be a solo but can be a duet, a trio or a bigger group.
Works outside of these time frames may not be considered.
What Dance Bloc NYC Festival Will Do for You:
* Provide performance space and a technical rehearsal time prior to the show, on the same day of the show.
* Provide marketing support: Dixon Place will list the Festival on their website, promote in an e-blast, and will send listings to the press.
* Each company will get a fixed number of light and sound cues which will vary with the length of the work presented.
* Will offer to extend 1 to 2 hrs of complementary rehearsal time (subject to availability). Longer pieces of 15+ minutes can get 2hrs rehearsal comp and pieces up to 15 min can get 1hr rehearsal comp. Additional hours can be booked with discounted rehearsal booking rates.
* There will be artist's stipend (ranging from $150 to $275) extended to the lead choreographer/lead organizer of participating dance company.
* Each company will receive a free archival video of the performance.
