SPACE Gallery is seeking proposals for performance/dance works as part of our newly established Moving in SPACE works-in-progress series. The series aims to provide a much needed regional performance opportunity for works in development in the contemporary dance and performance scene. Successful proposals will be for original works that are either in development or have only been performed a few times, yet could take advantage of this opportunity for creative improvements. Projects will be selected through a proposal process with an emphasis on new projects in development. The applications and work sample will be evaluated based on: Vitality of the proposed project and it’s ideas, Quality and integrity of the work, Appropriateness of the project and it’s format to SPACE and the artist's ability to successfully realize the proposed project.
Successful applicants will be given the opportunity to:
- Participate in a choreolab on Sunday March 11, 2018 to be held at SPACE (requirement for local artists, requested for artists outside the area). Choreolab, led by Maine-based Performance artist, Sara Juli, provides an artistic playground for choreographers, dancers and movers, where specific ideas on creation for movement and performance are researched in a peer-to-peer setting.
