Seeks 6 choreographers to present work in our
4th Annual
Festival of Latin American Contemporary Choreographers
LOCATION: Dance Mission Theater, San Francisco, California, USA
PERFORMANCE DATES: November 10-12, Fri-Sat. 8pm, Sun. 6pm. 2017
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: June 16, 2017
2017 CURATORIAL MISSION: by Juan Manuel Aldape
"REST & UNREST"...FLACC 2017 wants to use the festival as a site, process, and gathering to sustain our resistance against xenophobic policies that impact the United States’ Latina/o/x community members, as well as communities across Latin America. We want to highlight the various strategies that Latina/o/x and Native choreographers use to regain their energy in the company of each other, to take care of each other in the face of oppression, and to acknowledge the people and places we have lost and continue to lose due to police state violence and the silencing/invisibilizing of our community members. For 2017, FLACC is seeking submissions that focus on the themes of REST, UNREST, ENDURANCE, DISTRACTION, RESILIENCE AND STILLNESS.
VENUE TECHNICAL INFO

The stage floor is sprung wood with black Marley. Audience seating is on risers, black curtain background and 4 wings with a dressing room at the upstage right entrance.
