In an effort to provide greater opportunity and resources for the development of dance, the Rice University Dance Program has created a semester long space residency that will be awarded to a Houston choreographer for the creation of new work. The Dance Artist in Residence will be expected to teach 2-3 technique classes for the Rice Dance Theater student dance club (RDT), participate in a question and answer session with RDT, and hold 2 open rehearsals for RDT to view their choreographic process. The grant recipient will be chosen by committee and the deadline for applications is April 30, 2013. Download the application here.
