CALL FOR CHOREOGRAPHERS & DANCE COMPANIES: PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITY AND COLLABORATION at the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF), Florence Gould Hall.

Company: Alison Cook Beatty Dance 
Location: New York, NY

 

Highly-subsidized theater rental in Manhattan, professional lighting design, professional photography, box office management, tech rehearsal, marketing, program production and printings, AND guest artists receive their box office ticket sales.

This is a fantastic performance opportunity for professional dance companies and choreographic artists to present their work and a small select group of artists in a curated program at the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF), Florence Gould Hall, as guest artists of Alison Cook Beatty Dance and Innovative Music Spring Performance on May 13th at 8 pm.

Alison Cook Beatty Dance is excited to provide a highly-subsidized opportunity for engaging choreographers to show their work as part of a self-produced, high-level performance season with a limited financial commitment. Choreographers of all backgrounds (emerging, mid-career, and established) are encouraged to apply. 

 

What’s Included in the Low Flat Fee if Chosen: 

  • Theater rental at French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF), Florence Gould Hall, a state-of-the-art 361-seat proscenium stage theatre and concert hall at 55 East 59th Street (between Madison and Park Avenues). It opened in the spring of 1988.
  • Performance marketing and advertising, including easily shareable online copy for your audience

  • Box office: Both the online and day-of-event box office needs will be fully managed and staffed
  • Event insurance: this is a required expense for theater rental and is covered 
  • Overall costs exceed $20K, and Alison Cook Beatty Dance will cover additional costs. This performance is also made possible with partial support from The Cultural Development Fund. 

 

Box Office Earnings: 

Each Company can bring in as many people as they want. Alison Cook Beatty Dance will give them up to $500 in ticket revenue back, minus a $5.00 processing fee on each ticket. (so, if a company brings in $600 of ticket sales, they can earn back their $500).
