National Dance Project Accepting Applications for Production Grants

Posted on October 29, 2009Deadline: March 2, 2009 (Round 1 Application)Administered by the New England Foundation for the Arts,
the National Dance Project provides a system of support for
contemporary dance by supporting the creation (production) and
engagement (touring) of dance in the United States and beyond.

NDP's production grants fund the creation of new dance work that
will tour nationally by supporting costs incurred through the artistic
development of the work. These highly competitive grants are awarded to
approximately twenty projects annually. Grants generally range from
$25,000 to $40,000 each. Projects supported by production grants also
receive touring support for the season following the work's creation.

Projects applying for production grants should make possible the
creation of regionally or nationally significant work that will tour;
offer potential to engage audiences; explore collaborations within and
across disciplines, if appropriate; and involve creative and dynamic
partnership with one or more U.S. presenter partners in the development
of the work.

Choreographers, artists, and companies are eligible to apply for production grants. Projects must have a U.S. presenter partner.

NDP can only award grants to organizations with nonprofit status.
Production grants may be paid either directly to an incorporated dance
company and/or to a fiscal agent (such as the presenter partner).
