In an effort to address concerns and offer solutions for today’s dance artists living and creating in New York City, Sarah Maxfield facilitates a Town Hall coordinated by the Dance/NYC Junior Committee. Specifically geared towards choreographers and dancers, this Town Hall will function as a series of discussions to address issues surrounding the development of a sustainable lifestyle as a dance artist in our current climate.
Topics to plan for, among many others are: making work and developing it beyond a single performance; cultivating a long-term practice of research; addressing the changes in funding models and priorities; maturing as an artist; how existing and emerging spaces can effectively support communities and artists; and shifting between opportunities to create, develop, show and tour work.
This is a forum to gather and voice shared concerns, using the group knowledge and experience as a resource to identify obstacles and discuss solutions that address collective issues. This discussion will focus on the choreographic and performance aspects of navigating the terrain, but all self-identified dance community participants are strongly encouraged to attend.
This event will continue at Forum (127 4th Ave, between 12th and 13th Street) for more conversation and networking.
