DANCE OUTRE'S "COLLABORATION!" MISSION

The mission of Dance Outre, the producers of COLLABORATION! is to give choreographers and composers — and their partner dancers and musicians — a performance opportunity to present new collaborative work to a broad audience in a professional environment. And to educate the community at large about the diversity of dance and music; especially the collaboration of choreography and composition elements, and dance-making as a whole.

.....................................................................................

REQUIREMENTS

** Choreographers will adhere to the "performance time limit" set for each choreography (to be determined by the Producers after choreographer and composer teams have been chosen). Performance times will range from a minimum of 7 minutes for a solo and a maximum of 10 minutes for a larger group piece.

** Choreographers will attend a MANDATORY Production Meeting; Thursday, October 7th (place and time to be determined).

** Choreographer, along with their composer, will attend a MANDATORY PR photo shoot, on Friday. October 8th OR Saturday, October 9; (exact date, time and place to be determined).

** Choreographer agrees to present their choreography and composer their music composition, FOUR WEEKS before the live show by video. This "Pre-showing" determines placement in the live show.
