Harvard Art Development Festival; Application Deadline

The new Theater, Dance, and Media-sponsored festival will be a lab for the development of new artistic works.

A number of projects will be selected by a panel of TDM faculty and students to undergo a development process. These projects could be plays, dance pieces, musicals, devised work, or anything else a student would like to submit for development in this creative space. The purpose is not to create a final production, but to create an environment for "messy art making," a place where pieces can be developed and revised without the pressure of production. Festival participants will be assigned to work as actors/dancers on one or two of the projects chosen for development; they would act as observers for the workshops of the works of which they are not a part, so that every workshop includes both observers and participants. All workshops will be open to the public.

The festival will take place from Saturday, January 16 through Friday, January 22, 9 am to 6 pm every day, except on Friday (the last day), which will end end at 1 pm at the Harvard Dance Center. The week of development will culminate in a final Showcase on Saturday, January 23, at 7 PM at the Harvard Dance Center.
