The Department of Dance at Kennesaw State University invites two nationally-emerging or mid-career choreographers to apply for a four-week residency to create two world premieres on the KSU Dance Company. Invited choreographers will audition and select dancers, preferably for ten students, for which they will create an original choreographic 30-minute group work. 

The resident choreographers receive a $5,000 honorarium. Housing, travel, and per diem are included in the honorarium. The Dance Department will provide additional travel funds of up to $1,000 to return to KSU at the beginning of the fall term for rehearsals and performances. 

Applications are now open! The deadline for submissions is October 30, 2021. Please provide:

A CV outlining choreographic history 

A description of the proposed work

Two complete works (not excerpts). One sample must be a group work.

Three references

We will review all submissions through Acceptd, an online application service: https://app.getacceptd.com/kennesawdance?org=-1.5.1153845
