HOT DANCE encourages choreographers of queer identity, working in all dance forms to submit. The proposed work should meet the following criteria:
* Run time should be a minimum of 6 minutes & a maximum of 15 minutes.
* If invited to participate, artists should plan to show the same piece as described in the proposal.
* The proposed work should be new or recently re-worked with primarily new choreography.
What HOT DANCE Will Do for You:
* Provide the fully equipped performance space
* Each company will receive a 20-30 minutes (depending on the length of the work) of technical rehearsal slot in the theater on performance day starting from 3:30 p.m.
* Provide marketing support: Dixon Place will list the show on their website, in an e-blast, and will send listings to the press
* Each company will get 2 music cues and 4 light cues, provided that the individual dance company assigns someone to call cues during the performance. Pieces that do NOT provide someone to call cues will be limited to one general lighting look which typically means a blackout to start, one light look to come up from blackout, and then a blackout to end.
