AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

DONLAVY DANCE COMPANY is seeking dancers, Stage Manager & crew for its new work, Stonewall Ballet. Like previous projects CSI6 and ?, Stonewall Ballet is the new 35 minute modern ballet retelling the historical 1969 Stonewall Riots in NYC. Set in the year 2029, the infamous riot marked the unofficial battle for Gay Civil Rights, Gay Marriage and the recent debate over "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Retold from true stories, adapted for the dancer and then digitized three generations later, the NYPD and the "Nellie Queens" remain the key opponents in this history that needs to be told again. Watch as this Christopher Street Barre re-match puts its audience up front as witness to a fight that barely through a punch.

General submissions accepted through October 27, 2010.
Late entries accepted until November 3, 2010 (late fees may apply)
