The Extended Project: Making Dance Works with a Longer Shelf Life

In today’s fragile economy, dance artists and companies are imagining new ways to support the making of creative works. This panel will explore how choreographers are working with extended projects from building a performance project in multiple stages to including web, writing, exhibition or educational components rather than creating a repertory of discrete works. How are dance artists finding multiple ways to fund different parts of their projects from different sources? How do these new ways of making, marketing and presenting dance works indicate both an interest in process over product as well as a pragmatic response to our current economic climate?

 Featured panelists include Carrie Hanson (The Seldoms), Atalee Judy (Breakbone Dance Company), Erin Kilmurray (The Open Space Project) and Molly Shanahan (Mad Shak)

This free conversation takes place on Tuesday September 14, from 6 - 7:30 pm at the DCA Storefront Theater, 77 E. Randolph Street.

Curated by CAR Dance Researcher, Meida McNeal.
