Professional NYC-based choreographers and dance companies working in all styles and forms are invited to apply, and applications can be submitted between January 15 and February 20, 2025. CDI supports residencies that are for rehearsal only, or may culminate in a public performance, and all awards include an honorarium in addition to the space grant. CDI, via its consortium of CUNY colleges and arts organizations, expects to award 22 to 24 residencies from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026. Starting with the 2025-26 cycle, CDI has forged a new partnership with Works & Process. In addition to a CDI rehearsal residency at Queens College, the selected artist will be awarded a fully-funded out-of-town Works & Process LaunchPAD residency.

This multi-year program invites artists to explore themes relating to the nature, practice, and experience of democracy and is committed to a total of 25 commissions over 5 years across theater, opera, dance, music, and multidisciplinary practices. Each selected project will receive $60,000 in support, consisting of a $30,000 commission and another $30,000 for project development. The Democracy Cycle is designed to support new live performance works that illuminate the promise, practice, imperfection, and opportunity of democracy. The Democracy Cycle aims to invigorate discussion and expression of democratic values by supporting the unique abilities of artists to imagine new worlds, envision new possibilities, and provoke meaningful discourse across any number of divides. The submission process for The Democracy Cycle’s 2025 Open Call will open on Monday, January 13 and close Tuesday, April 1, 2025 at 5:00pm EST.
