Call for Applications: Online Catalogue of Tour-Ready BC-Based Contemporary Dance
Made in BC matches up communities with professional dance artists to make cool things happen. With a network of presenters in Golden, Vernon, Kelowna, Kitimat, Smithers, Prince Rupert, Salt Spring Island, Nanaimo, and Courtenay, and budding community partnerships in other regional communities, we are one of 5 similar arts service organizations across the country. We work closely with our BC partners, and with our national colleagues, to create opportunities for BC dance artists to share their work and their passion.
Every year since 2006, Made in BC has created an internal catalogue of applicants wishing to tour the network. Originally a printed book, this has sometimes been shared with presenters in other parts of the country. Last year, we switched to an entirely on-line catalogue, the beta version of which can be viewed here:http://www.madeinbc.org/groundwork2012/
What’s the same?
Made in BC remains dedicated to touring BC-Based Contemporary dance throughout our own network. We are still inviting applications for inclusion in this catalogue, to be viewed by our Made in BC network members, selected to pitch in late January, and to tour the province in 2014/15.
What’s new?
This year, we are offering a general service to the BC contemporary dance community by inviting applications for inclusion in our online catalogue not only from those dance artists interested in touring the MIBC network, but from all dance artists who have work they would like to tour anywhere in Canada. This online catalogue will allow you to showcase your work to all of the dance presenters across the country, including those in the CanDance, Ontario Dances, Atlantic Moves, and La Danse sur les Routes networks. We are hoping that this will increase the profile of BC-based contemporary dance throughout the country, and will provide our own member organizations with a broader picture of dance in the province.
