CALL TO CHOREOGRAPHERS / PERFORMERS | TEN TINY DANCES® 2024
The City of Beaverton Arts Program is seeking proposals from choreographers/dance performers to create and perform a dance as part of Ten Tiny Dances® on Saturday, July 13, 2024.
Ten choreographers. One very small stage. Ten Tiny Dances.
Nationally recognized and created in Portland by Mike Barber in 2002, Ten Tiny Dances invites diversity of response and provides a rich pallet of performance art for audiences/community members. The short dances confined by 4×4 stage become condensed statements of creativity and artist individuality.
As an annual event since 2009, Beaverton TTD is an opportunity to present both contemporary and traditional dance, to publicly highlight the rich mix of cultures in Beaverton, and to expose audience members to culturally and artistically diverse performances.
The event presents both contemporary and traditional/ethnic dancers on a 4’ x 4’ stage in non-traditional/unexpected outdoor locations. The format offers applicants the opportunity to explore the concept of creative limitation, and the small stage also positions dancers in very close contact with the audience. Artists are offered the opportunity to create site specific performances. The Arts Program actively promotes the event, and audiences have been large, and receptive.
The City of Beaverton cares about the health and safety of its residents, employees, and performers and reserves the right to impose public health and safety-related measures at city events.
