Description of Program Designed to take advantage of underutilized facilities while integrating New York City’s dance community with the public university system, the CUNY Dance Initiative provides local artists with rehearsal and performance space on 13 CUNY campuses across the five boroughs. Individual choreographers and companies representing a variety of styles, from contemporary to traditional forms, are encouraged to apply.
Conditions/Public Service Requirements Each CDI residency varies, depending on the needs of the selected choreographer/company and the available facilities at the host campus. Residencies range from a rehearsal period only to one that includes an open rehearsal/master class/lecture-demonstration or other opportunity for the campus community to become familiar with the artist’s work, plus a performance.
