Synergy Series, an evening of dance that will be greater than the sum of its individual parts.
Emerging and established choreographers from diverse backgrounds who practice varying genres of dance are invited to propose new or existing dance works for Synergy Series. This initiative is a platform for choreographers to come together, share their work, and engage in opportunities for conversation and feedback from the audience and participating dance professionals. Feedback cards will be customized by each choreographer, who can use the information gathered to inform the next phase of their work.
In addition to presenting work on the shared evening of dance, artists will have specific opportunities to network. In-person events and social media initiatives will provide opportunities for artists to share about their ongoing process with each other. This develops camaraderie, which supports individual artists in the development of their works.
The concert is intentionally low-tech and intimate, held in Artsville’s 160-seat theater in the Madisonville neighborhood of Cincinnati.
Proposals will be reviewed by the Co-Artistic Directors Rowan Salem & Teresa VanDenend Sorge with a team of three additional panelists. Our diverse panel will ensure that applications are seen by individuals of a variety of perspectives. Up to 8-10 choreographers will be selected to share their work. Our hope is to consistently present two series performances a year to support an ongoing goal of connecting diverse Cincinnati-area artists.
