ATTN: CHOREPGRAPHERS
* CALL FOR WORK *
Deadline for submission: Monday, June 28, 2010
ABOUT THE FESTIVAL:
The J.U.i.C.E. Hip Hop Dance Festival is an annual showcase of cutting-edge street dance choreography and hip hop culture produced by Antics Performance and J.U.i.C.E. at the outdoor, 1241-seat Ford Amphitheatre. It will take place on Sat. Oct. 2th, 2010.
JHHDF unites the rhythmic virtuosity and extreme physicality of street dance to “expand [hip hop’s] creative horizons” (Lewis Segal, L.A. Times). Artistic Directors Amy “Catfox” Campion, Jacob “Kujo” Lyons and Emiko Sugiyama bring LA’s freshest street dance choreographers to the stage to celebrate and revolutionize hip hop dance.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
JHHDF is looking for street dance-based choreography that captures the essence of the hip hop and pushes the boundaries of creativity. We highly encourage the submission of multi-media performances that overlap street dance with live music, visual art, poetry, and theatre. Proposals should address how the artist plans to creatively take advantage of the particular features of the unique, bi-level, outdoor Ford Amphitheatre stage. Pieces should be between 3-10 minutes long.

WHAT WE OFFER:
