Completely describe Project approved by the Grants Panel and in a separate narrative detail the
revisions to the Project based upon the award. Please be as specific as possible; name of event,
venue, times, etc. Miami Beach Anchors should list specifics about their mentoring program.
"New Works 2004" will be the second year in this new annual choreographer's workshop
that Miami Contemporary Dance Company offers to the community. "New Works 2003,
last year's workshop funded by Miami Beach Cultural Arts Council, was an enormous
success.
The workshop has a simple and effective structure. First an applicant will be chosen to
choreograph on the company. The chosen choreographer is given four weeks to create
and rehearse a new work on the professional dancers of Miami Contemporary Dance
Company. This work includes costume design, sound, and lighting and is presented in a
final performance at Miami City Ballet's performance space. This performance is open to
the public and is followed by a question and answer/ audience suggestion period. Here
the audience gets to speak with the choreographer, the dancers, and the artistic director
about the project. . The performance is digitally video taped with two cameras for the
choreographer to use to edit a video of their work. This video with professional dancers is
a very important tool for furthering their career and it is something that is hard to achieve,
many local young choreographers don't even have a video if they do it often is a poor
quality one.
The only revisions to the project are, the choreographer only gets three weeks of
rehearsal instead of two, only one camera is guaranteed to be used in the videotaping and
it will not definitely be digital, and lighting design is not guaranteed.
