Sunday, January 14, 2018
6:30pm-9:00pm
Gibney Dance | Studio C
280 Broadway, New York, NY 10007
Conceived by choreographer Camille A. Brown, The Gathering serves as an open forum for intergenerational black female artists to support one another and to advocate for greater cultural equity and acknowledgement in the contemporary dance world.
As trendsetters and pioneers who merit more widespread public recognition for their innovations, this evolving group of black choreographers will meet to examine the reasons for this precedent and to embark on a mission to make their work more broadly accessible and appreciated.

Workshop #1
Strategies for Self-Producing
2:30PM-4:00PM
Gibney Dance | Learning & Leadership Center
It is crucial to have a solid plan in place before beginning the production process for any project, but especially when self-producing your work. Self-producing offers artists the opportunity to retain greater control over their work and essentially act as their own boss. It is a structure that puts a tremendous amount of freedom in the hands of artists, and with that freedom also comes a tremendous amount of additional work and responsibility.

Community Engagement
4:30PM-6:00PM
Gibney Dance | Learning & Leadership Center
Are you considering how to engage communities in and through your work in a thoughtful, inclusive way? Community engagement can take on a multitude of forms - from traditional spectating to co-creation to arts activism - but these efforts aren't always executed strategically or mindfully. Bring in a project breakdown/ideas and any contextual information about the communities/areas you wish to serve through your work. With over thirteen years of experience in planning and facilitating community-based arts work, The Field will provide you with the resources and tools needed to think through your engagement work so you can put your plan into action.
