CALL FOR CHOREOGRAPHERS

The W.I.P. (works in progress) Series in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan is looking for professional and emerging choreographers to present original and innovative works in progress in Saskatoon. Jackie Latendresse is the Series Coordinator. Informal showings will take place twice a year and the season culminates in a Gala event of finished works. The first showing of work will be on May 17th 2008 and the second batch of choreographers will be presented in September 2008. The Gala event is to be held in December 2008.

Priority will be given to Saskatchewan based artists however; national applications are encouraged. Please send:
1. A brief description of the proposed W.I.P. (work in progress) Max. 1 page
2. A current dance resume. (include phone #, email and mailing address)

Applications are being accepted immediately and are accepted on a first come, first served basis. Up to five Choreographers will be accepted for each performance. There will be two in studio performances. Please specify which showing you would prefer to present your work at.

W.I.P.’s should be an exploration using contemporary/modern or experimental style. Choreographers will receive no less than five and no greater than twelve minutes to present their work. They will be expected to speak about their work prior to or immediately after the presentation of it for up to a maximum of ten minutes. Written audience feedback will be collected and distributed to the choreographers. An honorarium will be available for professional choreographers. Billets will be provided for all out of town parties upon request. The W.I.P.
