Completely describe Project approved by the Grants Panel and in a separate narrative detail all revisions to
the Project based upon the City Commission approved award. Please be as specific as possible; name of
event, specific dates, venues, times, artists, etc. Use extra page if necessary.
Proiect description as approved bv Grants Panel:
Funds are requested to support two major projects for Miami Contemporary Dance Company. 1. A Creation of a
new work for the 06/07 season and, 2. The New Works 2007 (emerging choreographer's workshop).
1. A NEW CHOREOGRAPHIC CREA liON BY RAY SULLIVAN Artistic Director and resident choreographer of
MCDC .In Sullivan's international performance and choreographic career this will be his 31stchoreography.
Please refer to his attached biography which outlines some the many works that he has debuted on Miami Beach
and are receiving international attention including performances in Argentina in May of 2006. This new work,
which is tentatively titled "Rain That Washes My Soul Clean", will be created based on the different emotions
inspired by rain storms. The piece will use the beautifully sculpted bodies of the MCDC professional dancers and
their stellar dance talents to metaphorically invite the audience, through movement, to ride raindrops through
different kinds of storms. The music will vary from children's choral music to world folkloric influences, to more
popular themes. International award wining costume and set designer Jorge Gallardo will create an unmatchable
atmosphere for this stormy movement. This work will be presented at the Colony Theater as a part of MCDC's
major performance season on February 21 and 22, 2007 at 8:00 PM.
2. NEW WORKS - AN OVERVIEW
Miami Contemporary Dance Company's New Works program assists emerging choreographers by providing them
with the tools necessary for professional career development. New Works aims for the choreographer that is just out
of school or beginning to make their next major professional step. These individuals seldom have the financial
resources to capture their choreography. Without visual representation, the emerging choreographer is unable to
market themselves effectively. New Works provides the chosen choreographer with the all the tools necessary from
the beginning of the choreographic process through performance to create and capture the new work..
. A company of professional dancers that are paid a weekly salary for the rehearsal process and performances
. 4 weeks of rehearsal space
. Performance space for a dress rehearsal and final performance
. Budget for costumes, sets, lighting and technical assistance
. Professional Camera Crew
. Stipend for the Choreographer
This list of invaluable tools is what Miami Contemporary Dance Company has provided for four worthy applicants over
the past four years of the innovative New Works project. New Works 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 were all funded by
Miami Beach Cultural Arts Council and received the highest award in the dance category for 2006.
To an emerging choreographer the experience of working with the professional dancers of MCDC in a true dance
company setting is a valuable learning tool. Overall, the high quality video recording is perhaps the most important
tool in the long run for furthering their career.s
