by Andrew Valdez 01 Dec '17

01 Dec '17

Dear Northeast Ohio artists, CPT is beginning to plan the fifth annual Station Hope event - a free multi-arts event that celebrates the triumphs of the Underground Railroad, Cleveland's social justice history and contemporary struggles for freedom and justice. The format of Station Hope includes multiple stages with 10-15 minute pieces performing simultaneously throughout the evening. This year, Station Hope will be a massive community celebration at and surrounding Ohio City's historic St. John's Church - Cleveland's only authenticated Underground Railroad site - on May 5th, 2018. CPT is looking for artists, performance groups, choirs, and organizations to create original work and perform at this powerful event. Performances can range from site-specific plays, actors in character wandering through the event, or your church choir singing. We are also seeking visual artists who are interested in creating community generated art and installations. Click here for the Station Hope 2018 Request for Proposals and Application.<http://www.cptonline.org/news/uncategorized/station-hope-2018-request-for-p…> Proposals are due on Monday, December 11th, 2017. Please send proposals to CPT's New Play Associate at avaldez(a)cptonline.org<mailto:avaldez@cptonline.org>. We hope you can be a part of this incredible event!

CPT Accepting Proposals for 18/19 Season from Local Artists
by Andrew Valdez 01 Dec '17

01 Dec '17

Dear Northeast Ohio artists, CPT is planning the 2018/2019 Season, and we are reaching out to you for great ideas. CPT is focused on new work that is surprising, unexpected and somehow outside the realm of conventional theatre. CPT is looking for proposals from Northeast Ohio artists for complete projects. Proposals may be for world premieres, second or third US productions, radical re-envisioning of classic plays or other projects. The show could be your own show or a script you would like to work on. Based on the success of past co-productions and our New Play Development series, we are also interested in creating opportunities for artists and groups that would like to retain greater ownership of projects and who can share risk with CPT. BEFORE SENDING A PROPOSAL: * Take time to look at CPT's recent seasons-these are excellent examples of our programming choices. Click Here for the Season Archive<http://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/>. * Get a sense of CPT's aesthetic and artistic sensibility-if you haven't seen a lot of shows at CPT, talk to people who have. * CPT has a culture of doing a lot with a little and production budgets are modest. Keep in mind CPT's financial limitations. * If this is a new/original project, think through its current state of development-is it still in early development or at the right moment for full production? SUBMITTING A PROPOSAL Proposals of complete projects should be 1-3 pages long, not including script or work samples, and must include: * A one page summary of the project: including why this project fits CPT's mission and why it's important to you as an artist. * Your sense of what state the project is currently in and a general plan to bring it to completion. * A resume for all primary artists involved. * Additional materials that will help us get a sense of the project: copy of the proposed script, a sample of past work, video, etc. Please mention if you are interested in co-producing options. DEADLINE FOR PROPOSALS IS MONDAY, DECEMBER 18TH, 2017. If you are submitting an idea for a play that is already written by an outside artist, please keep in mind that others may be proposing the same script-in other words suggesting a script does not mean you have dibs on doing it at CPT. Please be aware that CPT does not comment on why proposals are not selected. We occasionally make subjective artistic suggestions related to a project if we are asked to give feedback. Please send your proposals electronically to CPT's New Play Associate, Andrew Valdez at avaldez(a)cptonline.org<mailto:avaldez@cptonline.org>. Subject line: Your Name and "Season Proposal" - for example: Jane Smith, Season Proposal. Please post videos to VIMEO or other website and send a link with the proposal.

Each class will integrate Release and Limon technique. Through floor work and phrase work, students will explore concepts of weight, quality, effort, spatial/physical awareness and clarity in movement. This class will also include elements of improvisation, utilizing the exploration of choreographic concepts used to develop unique, innovative movement vocabularies in real-time. Modern Lifts and Weight Sharing (Grace Nicklos & Kristyn Lein) This class will focus on the foundation of lifts and weight sharing used in Modern Dance and Contact Improvisation. Through the teachings of balancing, negotiating, and shifting weight, participants will create lifts in various group settings and explore non-traditional negotiation patterns. Ballet (Rebecca J. Leuszler) This class will focus on working from an anatomical approach, creating honest and sound movement based in the ballet technique. By removing any preconceived notions of what dancers should look like, dance like and be capable of, participants can focus on the correct placement of bones, allowing muscles to function effortlessly and efficiently. Dancers are encouraged to take artistic risk, think independently and to explore their qualitative approach to movement. Yoga (Elyse Morckel) Yoga builds strength, stamina, and flexibility. Class will incorporate Vinyasa (flowing movement sequences) with slow, sustained stretches, refinement of alignment in held poses, as well as breath awareness and mental focus. In short, it is a practice of moving meditation, which brings more clarity and peace. Yoga has been defined as ‘Awareness in Action’. We are reminded to listen to our bodies and enjoy the evolution of becoming fully present in the here and now. Improvisation (Grace Nicklos) Improvisation is an exploration of choreographic concepts used to develop unique and innovative movement vocabularies in real-time. From this base, dancers will develop movement material into spontaneous, performable dances through improvisational structures and scores.
