Hothouse Program 2008

…providing work space for Los Angeles choreographers in the creation of new work

Purpose:
UCLA Department of World Arts and Cultures is pleased to announce the fourth annual Hothouse Program. The “Hothouse” concept was developed by UCLA faculty to support the creation of new work by local Los Angeles choreographers and to encourage interactive exchange during the creative process.

Hothouse provides a residency for the creation of new work, for six local choreographers at UCLA's Glorya Kaufman Hall. Each choreographer/performance artist will be invited to use studio space free of charge for 4 hours/day for three weeks.

In exchange for the Hothouse residency, artists are asked to make presentations to one another on the final day of the residency and may be further asked to share some part of their work/creative process with WAC students and faculty during the subsequent academic year.

When:
The residency period is June 23 – July 11, 2008.

Who:
Los Angeles-based choreographers, body-based performance artists are invited to apply.

Costs:
There is no cost to participate. Parking costs for two cars each day, Friday group meals and studio space are covered for the three-week period by UCLA's Department of World Arts and Cultures.

Interaction:
Hothouse is designed to give LA artists the necessary space for the creation of new work. In addition, it is an opportunity to build artistic community. We require that all participants join us for a nutritious and delicious lunch each Friday, and that all attend the full day of showings scheduled for Friday, July 11.

Future credit:
We ask that in future publication or performances of work created at UCLA, the following credit be given:

"The development of (name of work) was supported in part by the UCLA Department of World Arts and Cultures."
