SUMMARY:Small Plates Choreography Festival
DESCRIPTION:CALL FOR DANCE MAKERS \nApplications are open for Small Plates Choreography Festival Austin 2025\, a series of two curated dance performances to be presented on Friday\, September 5 and Saturday\, September 6\, at Ground Floor Theatre located in the nationally renowned eclectic artistic community of Austin\, Texas. \nHosted by Austin Movement Artist Jennifer Williams of Haven Movement Company. \nProgramming: Dance works of any dance genre up to 10 minutes in length will be considered for inclusion in one of two performances. \nSmall Plates welcomes the applications of all genres of dance. We are most interested in work that explores the intimate nature of this performance\, the uniqueness of the venue (more below)\, and the impact on the community and our audience members. Accepted applicants are expected to perform the piece with which they applied. \nVenue: \nGround Floor Theatre is a black box theatre venue that seats up to 114 audience members. It is fully equipped with wings\, backstage and a green room with a bathroom. The floor is smooth cement and is not sprung. Shoes are welcome to be worn during performances\, but barefoot dance is accepted and commonly seen in this venue. Performers will remain backstage during the entirety of the show. \nTechnical Support: Basic stage lighting and a video projector will be available. Choreographers will provide three lighting cues with basic looks (no specials) and any sound and video files relevant to their work within one week of acceptance. Technical rehearsals will take place on Thursday\, September 4 for local artists\, and the day of the performance for out of town artists. Each artist will be given 20-30 minutes for their tech\, and call for all performers is two hours prior to showtime. \nPost-Performance Talkback: Small Plates creates a growth environment by facilitating feedback sessions with the audience after each performance. All performers and choreographers are expected to remain on-site after the performance to engage with the audience in dialogue about their work. The artist/audience interface is what makes Small Plates truly special\, and the arts-infused community of Austin\, Texas will undoubtedly bring thought-provoking inquiry. Please consider this discussion as part of the performance when considering your travel needs. \nVideo: Please submit a video link for the work you would to present in your application. Applications without a video link will not be considered (please do not email the video) and montage videos cannot be adjudicated. Studio footage is acceptable. Completed work will be given preference over work-in-progress. \nFees: An application fee of $50.00 per piece is required. Your fee must be paid via Paypal before your work will be considered. All fees collected will directly support the selected artists in their performance. *We do not have funds available for fee waivers at this time.* \nAdjudication: Entries will be adjudicated by career dance professionals from around the country that specialize in various areas in the field. Our mission is to create an impactful growth environment for artists and audiences by producing curated showcase-style performances. Adjudicators will be looking for pieces that exhibit a combination of artistry and performance quality full of innovation\, diversity and various cultural perspectives. Programming decisions will weigh the opinions of the adjudicators alongside other factors\, including balancing the program between local and traveling artists. Adjudicators will submit their choices to the director and performance host\, both of whom will make the final programming decisions. \n  \n DEADLINE: May 1st\, 2025
