(April 25th - April 26th from 2-4:30PM)

Calling creative choreographers interested in investigating possibilities of modifying dance through the use of alternative spaces. Each artist will be assigned a unique space in and around the Westbeth building in which they will have the opportunity to rehearse and build a dance. We ask that artists create a 5-minute piece that can be performed multiple times for groups of audiences touring the sites.

On the show days, groups of audience members will be guided from site to site to see the dances all over the building. Past sites have included Westbeth’s inner and outer courtyards, long hallways, spiral staircases, the gallery space, boiler room, the rooftop, and the Martha Graham Studio Theater.

SELECTED ARTISTS WILL RECEIVE:

An opportunity to present site-specific work in an innovative space full of history

Two (2) site-specific performances on Saturday, April 25th to Sunday, April 26th, 2019

Publicity and digital marketing materials for the event

Professionally captured and edited photos

Video of performance at a discounted rate
