Diffusion is coming! Diffusion is coming!
We at Visions in Dance have listened to music, watched dancers from all venues, and dreamed a dream: We all have songs we want to dance to. Songs that may be inappropriate for a vast majority of venues. Perhaps you have a theme you wish to explore that would not be appropriate for they typical traditional venue. It is from this dream that Diffusion was born. It will be an over 18 event, where you will be free to use music, uncut and in its most raw form. You will be free to explore themes as difficult, impossible, joyous, painful, or daring as you dream.
We are also accepting ALL forms of dance. We, ourselves, are belly dance based, and are getting this information to mostly the belly dance community, as these are the people we know. However...we are very open to modern, ballet, jazz, tap, folklorico...anything that is entertaining, well thought out, and fullfills the purpose of this event...to challenge a dancer and the audience to move beyond the traditional box. (We have already been approached by a Modern dance troupe, and are looking forward to their coming submission).
It is a juried event, so please send a video tape or DVD of intended performance with final music selection, and close approximation of intended costume. We are asking for these tapes to best build a show based on music and costume to create a whole feeling and intent to the show. We do not want to just assign people to a spot based on random draw...we are hoping to use music and costume to build a cohesive show, start to finish.
There is a time limit: Solos up to 4 minutes 30 seconds. Duets up to 6 minutes. Trios up to 7 minutes. Troupes up to 9 minutes.
As a note...if you are an ATS or Improv style troupe, we understand that a solid choreography is not possible to present. So we simply ask for a video tape of your abilities utilizing music close to what you intend (if you intend to bring arabic music, show us a vid dancing to arabic music, if you are planning to use modern industrial, show us a vid of you doing modern industrial). These improv style troupes will then need to provide us a copy of their final music selection, and a photograph of intended costuming, so we can continue to build the show with your music choice involved.
The event will be held in The Midcities, Between Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas on Saturday, January 13, 2007, 7:00 pm.
Please send your video or dvds to:
Visions In Dance
PO Box 182604
Arlington, TX 76096-2604
The videos need to be in to us no later than: Friday, September 15, 2006. As that is when the panel of judges will be reviewing the submissions. The judges will be a mixed panel of dancers, local artists, writers, and dance enthusiasts.
If you have ANY questions, please feel free to contact me through Tribe at any time, and I will get back to you with your answers ASAP!
Sincerely and with Vision for evolving dance,
Jenn
