For Artists

Thursday, March 8, 2012

The Hoover Dam Collective seeks choreographers with an interest in collaboration for upcoming shows.

 
The Hoover Dam Collective is a group of young artists based in Brooklyn, NY who are particularly interested in making work that crosses the boundaries of traditional art disciplines. We produce performances in and around New York City which feature collaboration between music, dance, film, theater, poetry, and visual art. We hope to cultivate local talent and give artists the chance to learn through collaboration, while also providing exposure opportunities.

One of our primary goals is to make interdisciplinary work more available to audiences who wouldn't otherwise be exposed to it. We want to take high-quality art down off of a platform and make it more accessible. Therefore, most of our shows take place in untraditional environments such as bars and warehouses. We take pride in our ability to make art flourish in unconventional spaces.

We have several shows coming up in the next few months, and would like to incorporate some new dance artists. Many of us in the Collective are dancers and choreographers, so we love and appreciate dance, and want more of it in our shows. Whether you have a particular piece you would like to present or simply have an interest in collaborating with artists of other disciplines, please feel free to contact us! We are also very open to improv-based work ( we do a lot of it ourselves!). Over the last few years we have developed a vast community of artists, and we would love to expand it even further! We'd be happy to involve you in any way that we can. It's a great opportunity to meet other choreographers and like-minded folks.

If you'd like more info about the Collective, please check out our website, hooverdamcollective.com. On it you'll find our mission statement, list of past performers, blog, etc. I have also attached some YouTube links that would be worth checking out.

If you are interested in working with us, send us an email at hooverdamcollective@gmail.com that details how exactly you would like to get involved. Please include a video link to your work so that we can get an idea of who you are as an artist. We look forward to hearing from you!
