Big Ideas on a Small Scale

Open Call for Applications

Monday 4 April – Friday 8 April 2016

Pavilion Dance South West and South East Dance are working in partnership to increase development and choreographic opportunities for artists who want to explore creating work that is big in ideas but small in scale, where technical and practical limitations complement the work, rather than compromise it.

Applications are now open for the 2016 Scale & Scope ChoreoLAB. The lab will be an opportunity for two artists to experiment with ideas and test possibilities with a collaborator of their choice (if they wish), investigating new work over a week without the pressure of producing a finished piece of work.  In addition, the participating artists will be invited to the Small Spaces & Rural Places Dance Summit at PDSW in May, and offered the opportunity to take part.

Each artist will receive a budget to cover fees, accommodation and travel. Producers from both organisations will be present throughout the LAB week offering support, advice and feedback.

How to apply

At The Weston Auditorium, University of Hertfordshire – Thursday 4 March | 7.30pm

Dance Springs is an annual dance platorm for mid-career and emerging dance artists in the east of England. This year the platform has expanded to become a five-day festival, commissioned and supported by the UHArts (University of Hertfordshire) and DanceEast with performances at both venues.

Folllowing a two-day Research and Development intensive in January, hosted by UHArts, where successful artists developed their work and networked with other selected aritsts, Dance Springs is a celebration performance of the culmination of this work.

If you would value some time with South East Dance’s own Dramaturg in Residence Lou Cope, or you have your own dramaturg – you can apply for between two and ten days of support.

Here are just a few ways you might want to work with a dramaturg:

·         Ongoing skype consultations to support you throughout a process

·         Research and development prior to going into rehearsal

·         Time with a dramaturg in the studio during a rehearsal process

·         A combination of the above…

We are open to your ideas and hope to be as flexible as possible.

It may be useful to note that there are 20 days of support available in total, and that we expect to fund between four and ten proposals.

Deadline for applications is Monday 19 October (midnight).
