The 2023-24 Black Artists Space to Create (BASC) recipients are Mickey Davidson, Jordan Deal, and Aya Shabu. Each artist will receive a one-week residency with unlimited access to a dance studio, full living space, and a $2,000 stipend. The residency is designed as both a retreat and a space to create without the pressure of developing a new project. Additionally, artists have access to complimentary studio space at New Dance Alliance’s loft in Tribeca throughout the season, and are invited to show work at NDA’s annual Performance Mix Festival. Artists were selected by the 2023-24 BASC Curatorial Committee: Davalois Fearon, Ayan Felix, Djassi daCosta Johnson, Miriam Parker, and Majesty Royale-Jackson.

The BASC residency project was created in 2020 in response to current movements within the dance community and the movements they are building upon, and was initially led by NDA advisory board member Angie Pittman. As an artist services organization and presenter, NDA has been guided by the core question: What does it mean to center and support Black artists in this field? NDA is working to radically reimagine what it means to serve Black artists right and to do so in the specific spirit of reparations. As part of NDA’s mission, it is committed to continuing to listen, learn, and to push boundaries of what it means to create a more equitable dance field.

New Dance Alliance’s 12th round of LiftOff residencies takes place at NDA’s studio in Tribeca and provides six movement-based performance artists with a minimum of 36 hours of rehearsal space, a $500 stipend, and two Work Sessions designed for artists to share their creative process and participate in a community exchange. The 2023-24 LiftOff recipients are Justin Cabrillos, Tal Halevi, Kashia Kancey, Joy Norton, Kimiko Tanabe, and Yolette Yellow-Duke. T

Robert Moses’ Kin (RMK) is seeking choreographers, playwrights, librettists and composers to apply for a paid commission for the creation of an Anthology of original works as a part of its upcoming project NEW LEGACIES: ONE ACT DANCES! In Spring 2024.

Artists will create, in collaboration, across disciplines a work that is complete in its own right, and will serve as a part of a triptych. Working in tandem with artists of different disciplines will create a work that stands alone but can be paired with the works of a playwright and a composer to create a multidisciplinary work that is a part of a larger work.

Pieces should explore the theme of challenging conversations, our approach to them and how they are enacted.

Many challenging conversations are avoided - sometimes, people choose to be in other conflicts than face a difficult topic. What are we avoiding, and why? How can we approach challenging conversations differently?

We are looking for:
Choreographers that have a background of using dense physical movement as a storytelling mechanism.

Playwrights/ Libretiists with experience in both traditional and non-traditional modes, in ways that are comprehensible, meaningful, and relatable to an audience.

Composers that approach music as evocative, technical and elevating. Their music should tell us both what we feel, and what we might feel.
