CALL FOR WORK: Creature Common Space Series

Call for Work: Creature Common Space

Creature Common Space offers a platform for emerging dance and movement artists based in NYC to create and debut new work in a collaborative, intimate, performance setting.

We are seeking four emerging/semi-established choreographic works to present in our summer Common Space series. Two artists will be selected for each block.

Our goal is to provide a professional performance opportunity with equitable access to resources. We aim to support work that has a fresh, unique quality, one that is inherently creative and original

July 25 - 27

August 29 - 31

Applicants must designate whether they’d like to submit for both weekends or just one.

    To be considered, artists must be actively engaged in the creation of a new work (20-25 minutes in length) intended for its debut in the Creature Common Space. The work should not have been presented in its entirety before this opportunity.

    The selection process will be conducted by a panel of creative collaborators who will review the submissions.

  • This opportunity is non-paid. However, we provide the following resources to support the artists:

    • Full marketing

    • Technical director

    • Technical elements (lighting, props, microphones, etc.)

    • Stage manager

    • 20 hours of rehearsal space

    • Box office management

    Ticket sales will go to Creature Space to help sustain this program. We are committed to supporting the creation of new work!
