0 Comments

 
Kelly Strayhorn Theater is currently accepting applications for the 2018 newMoves Contemporary Dance Festival. The festival features a mix of performances by emerging and mid-career choreographers, artist talks, master classes and symposia.
Launched in 2009, newMoves is designed to feature both rising talent and established artists alike, and plays a vital role in Pittsburgh’s dance scene by fostering new works, new connections, and by encouraging artists to take creative risks and push boundaries.

The newMoves Contemporary Dance Festival provides valuable exposure for choreographers in the region, and  offers them the opportunity to share their work among a rich peer network. Past festival artists have included Sidra Bell (NYC), Kyle Abraham (NYC), Marjani Forté (NYC), Staycee Pearl (PGH), slowdanger (PGH) and many more.

The festival takes place at two venues: the 350-seat proscenium Kelly Strayhorn Theater and the 70-seat Alloy Studio. It features a flexible schedule to accommodate shared programs of short works and occasionally some larger projects.
KST provides development support through rehearsal space, technical assistance, access to the theater with its sound and lighting inventory, and an honorarium.

There is no cost to apply. Questions can be directed to Senior Producer Duane Binion at [email protected].
