While These Visions ... : Proposal Submissions

Dear New England dancer/choreographers,

Thank you for your interest in creating work for While These Visions … (did appear) on the Summer Solstice at Two Diamond Art Farm in Saco, ME.

As mentioned in the call for artists, the work will be created in response to the sculptures of Patrick Pierce that are out on the land at Two Diamond.

And, as the title suggests, there are Shakespearian hints of Midsummer Nights Dream woven into the theme.

We are seeking up to six artists to create and perform solo dance / movement pieces of approximately 10 minutes in length.

Performances can be in silence or with live sound, music, or spoken word.

Each dancer can bring their own sound collaborator OR choose to be paired in an improvised collaboration.

As there will be no power available, lighting sources will need to be battery operated.

Selected artists will have the opportunity for an on-site visit to work directly with the sculpture.

PROPOSALS

Take a look at the images below to see the sculptures.

Please propose ideas for TWO of the sculptures – this will give us more flexibility in the curatorial process.

Please include in your proposal:

1) A description of your concept for a piece.

Talk about your response to the sculpture and what it evokes for you, your ideas for movement, costume, sound and lighting – plus how it relates to themes of Summer Solstice and Midsummer Nights Dream.

2) A sample of your work

A link to something on YouTube or Vimeo would be the most convenient method of sharing.

3) A resume and biography, plus an artist statement that describes your approach to your artistic work.

Please send in your proposal by APRIL 15^th at the latest.

Submit by email and feel free to contact Claire with any questions: cillavee@gmail.com

Thank you and we look forward to seeing your ideas!
