Tuesday, October 25, 2011 at 09:09AM CatScratch Theatre and The Irondale Center are pleased to present the second annual FLICfest, January 19–28, 2012, at The Irondale Center in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. The 2012 festival will feature full-length works by 12 choreographers as well as a variety of post-show cabaret performances and new public programs.
Founded in 2010 by Jeramy Zimmerman, Artistic Director of CatScratch Theatre, FLICfest celebrated its inaugural season in January 2011. A platform for the presentation of feature-length work, FLICfest presents choreographers with diverse approaches to artmaking and theatrical aesthetics. The festival also focuses on community building, providing a forum for choreographers to share ideas, cross-promote, and develop new audiences. The 2012 season will offer two new public programs: a series of technique and composition classes, and panel discussions focusing on self-producing performance and creating feature-length work.
Choreographers/companies participating in the 2012 festival include: Brittany Bailey, Robin Neveu Brown, Tanya Calamoneri/Company SoGoNo, Carlos A. Cruz- Velázquez, Erica Essner, Niles Ford, Jordan Fuchs, Adrian Jevicki/Run Shayo, Mana Kawamura, Elke Luyten/Kira Alker, The Merrymakers, and Keith Thompson. More information about the artists can be found on the Choreographers page.
Each evening of the festival will feature works by two choreographers in Irondale’s main space, followed by an informal late-night cabaret in the venue’s balcony lounge. The full performance and program schedule will be available in December. The Irondale Center is located at 85 South Oxford Street, in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.
Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 09:46PM FLICfest (Feature-Length Independent Choreography festival), now in its second year, is looking for two interns. If you are looking for artist management or production experience, and you want to make a great thing in Brooklyn even better, we may have a spot for you:
To apply for either position (or both), contact Jeramy Zimmerman, Artistic Director (jeramy@flicfest.org).
FLICfest is the first Brooklyn festival dedicated solely to the art of the feature-length dance. Because feature-length dance is an important form for the exploration of adventurous art and cutting-edge ideas, FLICfest gives artists a platform to explore the depth of their visions and for audiences to embrace adventurous work. FLICfest strives to cement Brooklyn as a renowned destination for creativity and leadership in modern dance, while simultaneously strengthening the dance community through a platform for sharing ideas and information.
Saturday, August 20, 2011 at 08:42PM A reminder to all choreographers interested in submitting work for consideration in FLICfest 2012: submissions are due by 11:59pm ET on Monday, August 22nd.
Complete guidelines can be found here.
Submissions should be e-mailed to submissions@flicfest.org.
For any questions, comments or concerns, contact Jeramy Zimmerman, artistic director of FLICfest, by e-mail at jeramy@flicfest.org.
We look forward to hearing from you!
