This is a great opportunity to have an office and get the guidance needed to run a professional dance company. Here are the details:
DNA Subsidized Administrative Space Program
Dance New Amsterdam (DNA) is a unique arts organization that provides an arena where dancers at all levels of training, from novice through professional can study, create and perform. DNA's mission is to provide the tools and support necessary for artists to establish viable, healthy long-term lives as dancers. DNA acts as a laboratory in which ideas and vocabularies are exchanged and where artists may present their work before audiences.
Dance New Amsterdam's Subsidized Administrative Space program (SAS) was created and designed for dance artists and choreographers seeking to establish themselves in New York City but have been unable to find affordable administrative rental space given the current New York City real estate market.
Dance New Amsterdam's SAS program provides up and coming choreographers as well as established choreographers and companies dedicated administrative office space located within the executive offices of Dance New Amsterdam at a subsidized rental rate. For those applicants selected Dance New Amsterdam will provide access to the following.
:: Office hours 9:00am - 8:00pm* (Monday - Saturday)
:: Private cubicle with lockable storage and file space
:: Computer with internet access and printer
:: Phone with a private extension and receptionist
:: Office supplies**
:: Fax and photocopying**
:: Access to DNA facilities including conference room for private meetings, rest rooms, locker rooms, kitchen and faculty lounge
:: Approximately two hours weekly of private consultation with DNA staff in finance, development and marketing***
:: Access to potential teaching and performance opportunities.
*Flexible schedules available
**Limited to availability and usage
***By appointment only
DNA's community of artists, dancers, musicians, patrons and students provides a stimulating environment for SAS participants. Resident companies will receive professional guidance based on an initial annual assessment of each company's unique challenges, goals and objectives. Directors of SAS companies will be given special consideration for employment within DNA's school programs including the Modern Guest Artist Series.
Applications for the SAS program will be reviewed by the senior staff of Dance New Amsterdam as well as an independent panel of six dance educators and administrators. Selected choreographers and companies will begin their administrative residencies in November 2006 by signing a one year rental contract with the opportunity for extension when applicable.
The Application & Selection Process
Choreographers and companies interested in seeking approval should provide the SAS committee with a brief narrative that should include the following information.
:: Name of Company or Individual
:: Non-Profit/Corporate status and organizational chart*
:: Mission Statement
:: Brief History: biography of body of work, recent accomplishments
:: Current Fiscal sponsorship
:: Funding history and current fiscal sponsorship
:: Financials (annual budget)*
:: HR manual and EEO policy guidelines*
:: Administrative Goals: strategic plan or outline of intended goals during artist/company's residency in the SAS Program
*when applicable
The SAS committee will choose a group of semi-finalists with the final selection by the Executive Director. Selection will be based upon need, a clear mission and a history of completed projects. Consideration will be given to successful informal showings, presentations in small venues and ongoing consistent development of work.
Emerging dancer artists and companies without an extensive history of performances or general body of work will also be considered for participation and are strongly encouraged to apply
