Opportunities: Fresh Tracks Performance & Residency Program (NY Live Arts)

Fresh Tracks Performance and Residency Program

The Fresh Tracks Program was created in 1965 by Dance Theater Workshop, and this year celebrates 50 years of providing a platform for new artistic voices to gain professional experience and recognition in the field. Each year, six early career choreographers are selected by a panel through a live audition process. Artists receive research, development and performance support.

Fresh Tracks provides opportunities for participating artists to engage directly with New York Live Arts staff, artists and arts professionals about their work within the context of the professional contemporary dance and performance field.

Audition for Fresh Tracks 2014-2015
In September 2014, New York Live Arts will hold auditions to select six choreographers for the Fresh Tracks program. Artists selected for the program will receive a series of professional development workshops and be presented by New York Live Arts in a three-night showcase in the theater January 29-31, 2015. In the spring, these artists will receive a commission, 50-hours of studio space for research and development, and two one-on-one sessions with an Artistic Advisor.

Criteria for Selection
New York Live Arts values experimentation, collaboration and a genuine commitment to new ideas and new aesthetics. We place a premium on the originality of ideas and the quality of their execution. A panel of artists and other professionals from the field will select artists based on their demonstration of the above qualities and must possess a keen desire to develop and explore their work with their peers in the context of a residency program.

How to Apply for an Audition
Of the 48 audition slots, 32 will be assigned randomly to artists who submit an online application. The remaining 16 slots will be assigned based on recommendations from individuals invited by New York Live Arts.

To request an audition based on the random selection, read the downloadable program Guidelines & FAQ and complete the Fresh Tracks Audition Form via the online link below. You may not save applications in process. Once applications are submitted they cannot be edited.

DIY Residencies

DIY Residencies: a career in the arts on your own terms

Lisa Niedermeyer | Apr 21, 2014 5:00 am

Note from author: This article originally published April 2nd by The Guardian, a media outlet that serves primarily a UK-based audience. The sub headline read; ‘From 24-hour plays to co-op leasing, US artists are ditching traditional residencies in favour of working on their own terms’. The article has been shared on social media channels over 1,000 times since publishing. Comment sentiments ranged from “these are great ideas, I want to try doing this on my own terms”, to “duh - artists have been doing this forever”. In following the social media conversations, other interesting approaches to DIY Residencies were shared. I included some of these examples as an addendum to the article below and invite the Fractured Atlas audience to share additional examples via the comments. - Lisa Niedermeyer

NEXT TO NOTHING by Cassie Tunick, Heather Harpham, Danny Tunick. 

This musical/physical/vocal exposure of the present moment reveals what we've know all along-nothing happens for a reason. Next to nothing, there's always something clamoring to exist. In this fully improvised performance, distinctly evolved narratives dovetail with intricate dances. Songs avalanche out of sound, morph into gestural architectures with a keen ear for broken rhythms and altered states of mind. The will-o'-the-wisp moment is made flesh in Second Nature's ongoing exploration of the physical supernatural and the real-as-your-hometown. Lights by Nicholas Houfek.
