We are currently organizing the Celebration of Movement Showcaseto be held at 7:30 p.m.on Thursday, March 16 at theSheraton Boston Hotel, Grand Ballroom. You are invitedto be a part of this year’s Showcase, which features all types of movement or dance.
The Showcase invites all age groups, all types of dance, from all types of organizations (public/private schools, community groups, senior centers,colleges/universities, dance studios, etc.). Or if you have a group of students working on a creative movement project and would like to showcase their finished work, then we invite you to join us in Boston.
Submission/Performance Guidelines
The Showcase setting is an informal venue without the usual theatrical trappings of wings, lighting, etc.; however, the performance space is accessible to wheelchairs. Each submission must be under 6 minutes in length and music needs to be on a CD. Each group can submit up to two entries for performance. The performance showcase content will be constructed through a “first received, first accepted” method until the Showcase time frame is filled.
Each group will be assigned a time slot to rehearse alone in the performance space prior to the Showcase. For your travel convenience, spacing rehearsals are scheduled between 11 a.m.–4 p.m. onMarch 16.
Please complete the attached “Request to Share & Perform” form and return it prior to February 16.
We look forward to hearing from you, and including your group in this wonderful evening of movement and dance. Should you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
