WIP XIV: NOVEMBER 17 at 4:30pm

​where?

WIP takes place at the STUDIO4, located at 25 Main Street in downtown Northampton.

​The studio is spacious- over 2400 square feet, with wood floors and 20-foot ceilings.

what?
​
The School for Contemporary Dance and Thought is excited to present WIP (works-in-progress), a performance series that showcases developing movement-based works on Sunday afternoons. WIP values sharing research and experimentation, rather than presenting finished works, and welcomes applications from emerging and established artists.

The curatorial team choosing WIP choreographers is composed of fellow dance artists located in the Pioneer Valley. We are looking to create performances showcasing a diverse range of established and emerging artists, as well as those local to the valley and beyond. 

​Students are eligible to apply, but priority will be given to artists who are not currently enrolled in a degree-granting program. Preference will also be given to those who have not yet shown in the WIP series. 

We ask that works presented in WIP do not exceed 15 minutes.
