Norte Maar announces a call for choreographers for its 10th annual season of CounterPointe: new work by women choreographers and their collaborations with women artists.

Performances are March 24-26, 2023 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 connect you with a collaborator. Norte Maar will curate this pairing. You will have approximately 2 months to create a new work together. Choreographers and artists each receive a $500 fee.

To apply:
Email a brief cover letter addressing your interest in collaboration, a resume/CV, and links to recent choreography. Include a link to a work for stage (this will not be a virtual program). Please also include a link to work on pointe or express why you are interested and capable of working with pointe. (Submissions that do not include any links to work for pointe are less likely to be successful.)

Email to: nortemaar@gmail.com.

--Please do not email video attachments--

Selections will be made on a first come / first served basis, with deadline for receipt of submissions December 10, 2022.

Additional details:
Choreographers are responsible for selection and rehearsal of their own dancers.

These new commissioned works shall not be presented in the NYC/metro area within 2 months before or 2 months after the CounterPointe program.
