REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

Dance Conversations @ The Flea

March 3 - 13, 2011

 

Curated by Nina Winthrop

Assistant Curator: Taimi Strehlow

 

Application Deadline: July 9, 2010

 

Proposals are now being accepted for the 2011 season of Dance Conversations @ The Flea, a free performance and discussion series at The Flea Theater, curated by Nina Winthrop and Taimi Strehlow. This year we have an exciting new format for the series.  All 32 choreographers selected will perform in a FESTIVAL SETTING between March 3 and March 13, 2011. Dance Conversations @ the Flea features works in progress by emerging, mid-career and established choreographers, followed by an open discussion between the artists and the audience, moderated by choreographer Nina Winthrop and special guests.  Each day of the festival, four choreographers will have the opportunity to share 10-15 minutes of work in front of an audience of approximately 75.

Choreographers and companies who have participated in recent years include Rebecca Lazier, Daniela Hoff, Andrea Miller, Roxanne Steinberg, Nora Chipaumire and Claire Porter.  Moderators have included Tere O’Connor, Reggie Wilson, Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, Gina Gibney, John Jasperse, Amanda Loulaki, Christopher Williams, Melinda Ring and Levi Gonzalez.  Now entering its eighth season, Dance Conversations @ the Flea was created so that artists working in the field of dance could have their work seen in a professional and informal setting by other established and emerging choreographers as well as fellow dancers and enthusiastic audience members. Dance Conversations @ the Flea encourages the development of innovative work and ideas and promotes provocative and intimate dialogue between artists and audiences.

In the last few months, I have been archiving my dance work. It has been a very fulfilling process, in that it gives me a perspective on my body of work over the last 18 years. It seems like such a wonderful chance to look back at patterns and expressions.  I feel very fortunate to have had the time to do this. I will continue to work on the archives over the months to come.

During this time, I have revisited all the wonderful people with whom I have worked over the years: both collaborators and dancers. Patterns have been educative, inspiring and challenging.

It is with this change in perspective that I begin the work for my next piece in winter of 2010.
