PRETTY CREATIVES International Choreographic Competition
An Opportunity for New Voices in Dance
Northwest Dance Project announces a call for entries for our Pretty Creatives Project to identify two emerging choreographers who will have the opportunity to create an original work during LAUNCH: 7.
Northwest Dance Project is committed to working with artists of diverse experiences and backgrounds, and utilizes our Pretty Creatives Project as a means of helping to develop new voices in dance. Previous winners include Maurice Causey, Loni Landon, Lauren Edson, Pedro Dias, James Gregg, Marina Mascarell and
Gregory Dolbashian.
Selected choreographers will participate in a six-day summer residency from July 16 to 21, 2012 during our innovative LAUNCH: 7 Project. During the residency period, selected choreographers will have three hours of creative time per day and an open forum to develop and create new choreographic material. An informal presentation of the resulting “works-in-progress” or completed pieces will be shown on the final day. This in-studio presentation is open to the public and has become quite popular. Choreographers will work with all our visiting LAUNCH dancers, but choreography can be developed on a smaller group of dancers.
Northwest Dance Project’s Artistic Director, Sarah Slipper, will help guide the residency.
The residency includes:
- creative honorarium
- 6 days of rehearsal time with dancers (18 hours)
- travel to and from Portland, per diem & accommodation
Submission deadline is March 31, 2012
