Spanish Harlem Creative Movement Fest

Spanish Harlem Creative Movement Fest is a dance festival that celebrates the culture of Latinos in America, and their place in it, reflecting the diversity that Latin America culture embodies. It will feature six dance artists with hybrid choreographic practices, who hold the stories of lived cultural experiences of Latinos in America. Those danced stories will give life to the visual power of storytelling, unfolding emotions in motion with performative elements. September 2022. Open call from April 04 to May 10 (check Guidelines and application on our web site).

Spanish Harlem or El Barrio, it is one of the largest predominantly Hispanic communities in New York City.

We are accepting submissions from those choreographers/dance artists who explore a range of narratives of Latino culture, including current issues such as: immigration, forced displacement, identity, and transculturation. The selected dance works must be relevant, innovative, and should explore hybrid choreographic practices (combining dance movements with other forms/styles, including physical-theater, mime, video or incorporating performative methods on stage). The 6 selected dance artists will receive generous tech support (each choreographer will have up to 3 hrs tech rehearsal). And each choreographer/dance troupe would receive a flat rate of $500 per choreography/dance work. Festival run from Sep 15 to Sep 18 / 2022 at El Barrio's Artspace, Manhattan - NY
