CUNY Dance Initiative Announces Fall 2015 Events

8/25/2015

0 Comments

 
The CUNY Dance Initiative (CDI), a university-wide residency program now in its second year, announces its fall 2015 public events.  Led by New York City’s public university system, CDI is a new model for collaboration. By facilitating residencies for New York City choreographers and companies on CUNY campuses, CDI aims to support dance artists, enhance college students’ cultural life and education, and build audiences for dance at CUNY performing arts centers.

Eleven CUNY colleges in all five boroughs have been hosting residencies since January 2015, and the residency artists and their projects represent a wide-range of ideas and styles that reflect the diversity of the CUNY communities. CDI directly assists colleges with artist fees, rehearsal expenses, and marketing efforts.

Artists are selected through an annual open application process and each campus chooses its residency companies. The application for 2016 residencies will open September 10 at 10am and close October 1 at 11:59pm. More information can be found at www.cuny.edu/danceinitiative.

ABOUT THE CUNY DANCE INITIATIVE

The CUNY Dance Initiative is a new residency program providing rehearsal and performance space to New York City choreographers and dance companies. CDI was developed in response to the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s 2010 report “We Make Do,” which cited the critical need for affordable dance rehearsal space in New York City, and mentioned available performing arts centers and other spaces on CUNY campuses. A successful pilot project in 2013 supporting choreographic residencies and performances on four CUNY campuses prompted CDI to expand its scope, with 10 colleges hosting 19 residencies in 2014 and 11 colleges hosting 26 residencies in 2015. The Kupferberg Center for the Arts at Queens College is the administrator of CDI.
