Tempo Dance Festival 2019 - Expression of Interest Information
Tempo Dance Festival is a presenting festival that promotes a diverse range of dance performances, installations, events and workshops. Tempo 2019 will take place in October 2019 at Q Theatre, utilizing Rangatira, Loft and Vault performance spaces, on Auckland’s iconic Queen Street and other venues and spaces in the Auckland region. If you want to propose an event outside of Q Theatre, such as a site-specific work or gallery event, we are open to your proposals.
Tempo is a platform to present dance in its many forms and styles, either as part of a Tempo-produced programme (in a shared programme or showcase) or as a self-produced full-length show or Double/Triple Bill. If using Q Theatre, venue hire, technical/production support and ticketing are covered by Tempo. All festival events included in the programme receive marketing and publicity support, artistic development support and festival management under the Tempo umbrella free of charge.
Some Tempo-produced programmes include (but are not limited to):
Double/Triple Bills (‘ready-made’ shared programmes of 3 short works by one or more choreographers
Shared Programmes (‘showcases’ of short works in a variety of styles)
Full-length works (‘complete’ hour-long works in any style)
Tuakana (contemporary and traditional work by senior Maori Dance practitioners)
Alchemy (short works by tertiary institute dance programmes or university students)
Ignite! (performers aged 13 – 18, studios, schools, etc)
Events for children and families
FRESH (new, short works by emerging choreographers)
Experimental Work (shared programmes or full-length works that might work best in a more intimate setting or as a ‘late’ show – burlesque, cabaret, risqué work, performance art, mixed genre work, shows for an ‘adult-only’ audience, etc)
OTHER shows and events – please be specific in your proposal
EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST WILL REMAIN OPEN UNTIL MARCH 31 2019.
Tempo receives a very large number of Expressions of Interest each year. When submitting your Expression of Interest, please consider what ‘point of difference’ your work/show/event has that would interest both Tempo (as a presenter) and a general audience (as patrons).
