The Good Women Dance Collective is calling for What’s Cooking? submissions.
The informal work-in-progress showcase on April 29, 2017 is for artists to present their work and engage in a critical dialogue with the audience about it. Following each performance, audience members will provide feedback in a question and answer session, as well as through written surveys specific to each piece.
Who can apply?
We are looking for works from any genre of performance art that are in a creation or development phase.
Only artists who intend on developing their work further will be considered
Each artist who is accepted will be given a minimum 20-minute slot to present to their work and dialogue with the audience.
For this reason we advise that the work presented stays around the five- to ten-minute mark to ensure that there is enough time left to engage in a meaningful discussion with the audience. The work presented does not have to be completely set or in sequence – you can choose to show an improvisational score or to just show sections of work.
