Norte Maar for Collaborative Projects in the Art announces a call for choreographers for its 11th annual season of CounterPointe: new work by women choreographers and their collaborations with women artists., using the pointe shoe.
Performances are March 1-3, 2024 at The Mark O'Donnell Theater at the Entertainment Community Fund in Brooklyn. We are interested in producing a program which represents the cultural diversity of NYC. There is no house style, though the pointe shoe must be part of the work.
Interested women choreographers should be based in the NYC-metro area, have experience of presenting work, and be committed to collaborating with a visual artist. If selected, Norte Maar will select and connect you with a collaborator; Norte Maar curates this pairing. You will have approximately 2 months to create a new work together. Choreographers and artists each receive a $600 fee.
To apply:
Email a brief cover letter addressing your interest in collaboration, a CV, and links to recent choreography. Include a links to works for stage (this will not be a virtual program). Please also include either a link to work on pointe or express why you are interested in working with or about pointe.
