Call out launch: 6th October 2020

Context

Dumfries and Galloway Dance is a long-term project developing a thriving contemporary dance sector across Dumfries and Galloway. We believe this could bring together the brilliant activity that already happens across the region and create further opportunities to promote the region as a home for dance. The project is led by Cultured Mongrel Dance Theatre, alongside a growing network of partners, venues and collaborators. 

Call out

This winter Dumfries and Galloway Dance will be running monthly online watch parties, showcasing short pieces of contemporary dance while bringing together and developing audiences for dance across the region. 

Selected by a panel of independent dance experts, Dumfries and Galloway Dance will host 36 films over the next 12 months. 

Each online watch party will be formed of 3 films, hosted on Cultured Mongrel’s platform, followed by Q&A and discussion with the audience, facilitated by Emma Jayne Park. Participating artists are invited to join this Q&A but it is not mandatory. 

We are inviting proposals from dance artists to show their pre existing work as part of the D&G Online Watch Party programme across Dumfries and Galloway, we will prioritise work from artists with a connection to Scotland.  We will provide a fee £300 per film plus licensing costs. 

The first online watch party will be piloted on 1st October containing 3 films selected solely by our independent panel, afterwhich the selected programme of work will be presented. 

There will be another call out in early 2021 for the spring/ summer season.
