 2016 was packed with international activity: six artists toured with subsidies from Rapid Response; American choreographers attended numerous marketplaces, festivals and platforms courtesy of The American Corner program; and American Dance Abroad was present at the British Dance Edition, Czech Dance Platform, Aerowaves, Internationale Tanzmesse NRW, Shanghai International Arts Festival, CINARS, and ICEHOT! Several programs and services were offered to educate and promote the U.S. dance field. Read on to learn more about our exciting year… |

Pitchbook: Volume II is available and
Volume III is Open for Submissions
Pitchbook is American Dance Abroad's biannual publication
of new works by U.S. choreographers.

Pitchbook: Volume II is now available to download for free, or to purchase as a hardcopy. Volume II features In-Development Projects by Camille A. Brown & Dancers, Karen L. Charles Threads Dance Project, Gallim Dance, Alice Gosti, Lucky Plush Productions, and 10 Hairy Legs, and Ready-to-Tour Projects by BodyVox, Jonah Bokaer Choreography, Degenerate Art Ensemble, Joe Goode Performance Group, Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company, ODC, Peridance Contemporary Dance Company, and Versa-Style Dance Company.
Pitchbook: Volume III is now open for submissions and will feature 10 dance projects that have premiered since July 1, 2016 or will premiere before June 30, 2018. Applications will be accepted through April 1, 2017.
“Pitching” new work to potential producers and presenters is a great way to attract international partners and funding. Pitchbook publicizes new projects without the necessity or expense of traveling. It is available through print and digital formats, and is distributed by American Dance Abroad to international programmers at marketplaces and professional gatherings such as Aerowaves Spring Forward (Aarhus, Denmark), Performing Arts Market Seoul (Seoul, South Korea), and China Shanghai International Arts Festival Performing Arts Fair (Shanghai, China), among others.

Professional Critique:
Now Accepting New Applications
Professional Critique is American Dance Abroad's learning tool
to provide you with feedback from an international programmer.
|
|
|
 Professional Critique is a program through which American Dance Abroad will pair you with an international programmer and facilitate an evaluation of your work. The programmer will review video footage, marketing materials and production requirements, and then answer a series of questions designed to help you find your niche in the international landscape. Understanding how one’s work and organization are evaluated through the eyes of an international programmer can help to ensure a more positive touring experience.

Reaction from a participating company:
"This is so helpful... Thank you so much. I look forward to sharing it with the staff at our meeting next week. It is very constructive and detailed. Encouraging but not lightweight. It articulates several things that we could implement with a little effort and it seems would be of great benefit." –Jamey Hampton, Co-Artistic Director, BodyVox
