What is Open Marley Night?
Open Marley
Night is a semi-annual
performance hosted by The Collective.
This performance is an informal showing that gives
Information for the Performers:
Works presented can
be completed pieces or works-in-progress.
Performers should keep in mind that this performance is open to the
general public, so works presented should be “family friendly”. In addition, presentations (completed works
or portions of a work) should be kept to a maximum of 10 minutes.
Because this is an
informal performance, we will not be holding an official tech-rehearsal. The performance will be held in the large
studio at Experimental Movement Concepts.
Dancers will have space to change/warm-up in the small studio
(observation windows will be covered), but this will be a space open to all dancers
– there will not be individual rooms for each company/artist. Keep in mind that there is only one bathroom
in studio, so privacy for changing will be limited.
Choreographers will
have the opportunity to address the audience before your piece is
performed. You may use this time to
introduce your piece, ask the audience to focus on a specific element, or you
may choose to not speak at all.
Following the performance, there will be a brief discussion with the
audience so that they may ask questions or give comments. You will also have the opportunity to speak
with the audience during the post-concert reception.
There will be a
table set-up for fliers and additional information. You are welcome to place any notices about
upcoming performances, classes, mailing list sign-up, etc, on this table.
There is no
admission cost to the performance, but we will be accepting donations from the
audience to help cover the costs of the reception. You may invite as many people as you would
like to attend the performance, but we cannot guarantee the appropriateness for
all ages. Seating will include both folding chairs and
large cushions on the floor – the studio usually holds about 50 audience
members.
If you would like to be considered as a performer for
the Open Marley Night in April, please complete the enclosed application
and return to The Collective no later than April 15,2006.
