Megan White, Deputy Director of Programs (212) 627-5656 Dance supports quality programming and efforts to build audiences for the art form throughout the state. It also seeks to bolster the New York State dance community by supporting service organizations that provide administrative and technical assistance to dance artists and organizations. NYSCA has a long-standing commitment to fund dance in all its diversity and stylistic breadth, to embrace the new, the emerging, and the experimental, to provide support for mid-career choreographers and their companies, and to sustain the major ballet and modern institutions. Dance support fosters the creative process by supporting rehearsal time and space for choreographers, enabling the production of new work. The use of new technologies in the extension of each organization's artistic mission and/or managerial goals is encouraged. Dance organizations which may apply include: ballet, traditional modern and avant-garde, ethnic, jazz, and historical dance companies, dance service organizations, consortia serving management needs, and collectives of individual choreographers. Organizations requesting support for mime/movement theatre performances should refer to the Theatre guidelines. Applicants are welcome and encouraged to contact staff before the registration deadline. Prerequisites Performances must be open to the public and consist of at least one hour of programming by the company. Dance company applicants must have an established record of paying artists' salaries. Evaluative Criteria Grant requests are evaluated in accordance with agency-wide criteria. Artistic Evaluation NYSCA must be able to evaluate an applicant's artistic quality on an ongoing basis. It is the responsibility of all current and prospective applicants to inform staff of events well in advance of the event date. This is required so that staff, advisory panelists, or auditors may attend and evaluate the events. Email notification is welcome at dnc@nysca.org. Please specify that you are seeking an audit and include the company name/artistic director name; date(s)/time(s); theatre name/street address/city; contact person name/title; phone number; and email address. Dance will only audit public performances in New York State. NYSCA believes in honoring aesthetic and artistic excellence that reflects creative diversity without cultural boundaries and an evaluation process that embraces the widest spectrum of cultural expression offered to the public, in a broad array of settings and contexts -- from classrooms and community centers, to parks and open spaces, to more traditional venues. NYSCA celebrates artistic pluralism and welcomes requests from organizations serving all of the communities that make up New York State. These include the physically challenged, immigrants and other communities with special needs.
