CALL FOR PERFORMANCE:
Asian Arts Initiative Guest Producers Program
Spring 2010
The Asian Arts Initiative is pleased
to issue a call for Guest Producers, a program to provide exhibition
opportunities for performing artists and organizers exploring community
issues and concerns through dance, music, spoken word, theater,
performance art, and/or multi-disciplinary work.
A “Guest Producer” can be an individual artist, a
professional producer or curator, and/or a community representative or
team who has an idea for a performance-based event that they would like
to make happen at the Asian Arts Initiative. The program is intended to
allow for flexibility and responsiveness in the Asian Arts
Initiative’s programming, and to maximize the utilization of the
Asian Arts Initiative’s black box-style performance space at 1219
Vine Street in Philadelphia’s Chinatown North neighborhood.
We hope the program will foster inspiration and dialogue among our
diverse audiences – of emerging and professional artists, youth
and elders, Asian Americans and non-Asians – through exposure to
a wide array of artists, artwork, creative processes, and community
issues. In particular, we are interested in performance-based work that
address themes or issues that are timely and relevant to the Asian
American community in Philadelphia; and/or that engage with the local
Chinatown neighborhood.

Home, far and near. The Artists Exchange includes three major components:

work (full pieces or excerpts up to 30 minutes each). The work will be
presented "festival-style" with tech rehearsal time limited to 2 hours
per participant. Each participant will be presented on at least one
shared program / night, though some artists may be asked to perform
multiple nights. (March 25 - 28)
- A week-long creative workshop (tentatively, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.,
Monday through Friday) where participants will develop new ensemble
work facilitated and directed by Los Angeles-based performance artist
Dan Kwong. The workshop will include generative exercises as well as
presentations and guest speakers exploring stories of immigration as
well as issues of gentrification or displacement in the neighborhoods
where many of us live or work. (March 29 - April 2)
- A public performance of the new ensemble workshop piece-in-progress. (April 2 and/or April 3)
