The Dance Chicago Choreographic Advancement Program
The Dance Chicago Choreographic Advancement Program (DCCAP) works like
this:
Year 1. Young talent is identified through viewing videotape
submissions from December through July. The choreographers are given
opportunities to present their work in one /or both Dance Chicago
programs: Dance Slam or New Moves.
Year 2. The next stage is the mentoring stage, where the young talent
is coached and partnered with professionals in the field to refine
their choreographic potential. The choreographers are given
opportunities to present their work in one of the main Dance Chicago
programs, such as Jazz Fusion, Dance for Kids, Grand Finale, Stars of Dance Chicago,
etc.
Year 3. The next stage is the professional commissioning stage, called
the Dance Chicago Choreography Project, where the young choreographer
is given the resources to create a dance for the repertory of Hubbard
Street 2, River North Chicago Dance Company, Giordano Jazz Dance
Chicago, Thodos Dance Chicago, dancers of the Joffrey Ballet of
Chicago, or other distinguished ensembles.
Year 4. The next stage is the international professional commissioning
stage, called the International Choreography Exchange Program, where
the young choreographer is given the resources to create a dance for
the repertory of a company from another country. Our partners are: the
Dutch National Ballet, the Albanian Academy of Dance, and Cemal Resit
Rey Dance Theatre from Turkey.
Keep in mind this is the "fast track" some may have to spend more than
one year in each of the first two stages. In the last two stages, some
chorographers are creating works simultaneously for Chicago companies
and international companies.
We would love to have you get involved with us. To identify and support
a young artist through the four years, cost us about $20,000, with most
of the money coming in year 3, where the burden is on us to fully
produce the work, which comes to $10,000 per choreographer. Whith all
this in mind, obviously any contribution will help us continue.
