Call for Guest Curators: 2024-2025 Programming at Dancemakers
Calling all artists: Dancemakers is seeking 2-3 Guest Curators to select, support and contextualize dance programming for artistic development and public sharing for the 2024-2025 season!
Guest Curators are encouraged to dream projects into being that may not be feasibly supported in more traditional performance venues, companies or festivals. Site-specific projects, projects outside of the downtown core, projects that engage with and integrate communities/audiences, projects that deeply consider the curatorial context of the work and that engage with a range of dance forms will be prioritized.
Guest Curators play a vital role in the re-emergence of Dancemakers as it continues to move forward in becoming a community-led and decentralized company – living inside of and responding to larger contextual realities and needs. We are explicitly looking to support various dance forms, performances that engage with land, social issues and that centre BIPOC voices. We are interested in curatorial projects that are able to answer “why this now?”
Each project programmed by Guest Curators will be expected to offer some kind of public sharing element whether that be a full production, work-in-progress showing, discussion or artist talk, workshop, participatory event, community-building event and/or another porous approach that includes community interaction.
Guest Curators are offered a fee of $5000 for their work on the project.
For full details about the call, visit the Dancemakers website.
Deadline: September 2, 2024
Interested in learning more? Interim Artistic Producer Christina will be hosting an in-person coffee hour on August 15 from 5-7pm at the Slanted Door at 442 Bloor St. W. Join for casual questions and conversations. One free beverage for every attendee!
