The UCLA Department of World Arts and Cultures Presents:
Hothouse 2010
…providing space for Los Angeles choreographers to interact and create new work
Purpose:
The UCLA Department of World Arts and Cultures is pleased to announce the sixth annual Hothouse Residency. Hothouse was developed by UCLA faculty to support the creation of new work by Los Angeles choreographers and to encourage interactive exchange during the creative process.
Hothouse provides a residency for six local choreographers to create new work at UCLA's Glorya Kaufman Hall. Each choreographer/performance artist will be invited to use studio space free of charge for 4 hours/day, 5 days/week for three weeks.
In exchange for the Hothouse residency, artists are required to share their work through informal presentations on the final day of the program. In addition, some artists may be asked to share some part of their work/creative process with WAC students and faculty during the subsequent academic year.
When:
The residency period is August 9-August 27, 2010, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
Who:
Los Angeles-based choreographers, and body-based performance artists are invited to apply.
Costs:
The Department of World Arts and Cultures offers rehearsal space free of charge and one parking space in the UCLA parking lot per day/per group. (Additional parking in UCLA lots costs $10/car for a full day.) WAC will host Friday group meals in Kaufman Hall.
Interaction:
Hothouse is designed to give LA artists space for the creation of new work and an opportunity to build artistic community. We require that all participants join us for a collegial lunch each Friday, and that all attend the full day of showings scheduled for Friday, August 27th.
Dancers: We are continuing our successful “Hothouse Performers” internship, drawing dancers/performers from WAC undergraduate students. These students will audition in Spring 2010. If you wish to participate in Hothouse and want to use the talents of Hothouse Performers, be sure to let us know in your application.
