| This
Fellowship Workshop is an opportunity for accomplished professionals to
work for a concentrated period on conceptual and practical issues regarding
dance film/video. Fellows will work together in this ten-week session in
a mutually supportive environment that challenges and expands their working
methods. Philosophical discussions and debates within the group will spark
creative experimentation and generate new ideas. Distinguished guest speakers
from the field representing a broad range of professional experience and
expertise have been invited to engage in in-depth conversation with the
fellows and, in some cases, conduct hands-on mini-workshops. Members of
the Leadership Group will also serve as valuable resources and help fellows
develop contacts with the professional world. These exchanges will insure
ample opportunity for dialogue with working professionals, increase the
self-reflective skills of fellows, lead to new areas of inquiry, and help
them develop fresh approaches to the subject.
Terms of Residency
Each year the
program will admit eight accomplished professionals from the dance field.
In addition, two highly qualified UCLA graduate students will be admitted
to the program.
Fellows will receive
travel reimbursement, and a stipend of $5,000 to cover living expenses.
Limited funds will also be available for expenses related to the workshop
projects. Student fellows will not receive stipend, but will receive
12-16 units of credit for enrollment in the workshop.
At the conclusion
of the residency, fellows are eligible to apply for the Independent
Project Development Funds adminstered by NIPAD.
