American Masterpieces: Dance Program Funding Opportunities: American
Masterpieces' dance component of a major initiative of the National
Endowment for the Arts is designed to acquaint Americans with the best of their cultural & artistic legacy. The AMD project celebrates the extraordinary & rich
evolution of dance & choreography in the United States. With its partners, the New
England Foundation for the Arts & Dance/USA, the NEA will sponsor select
performances, tours, & educational programs that reach large & small communities
throughout the United States. Support is available in the following categories:
AMD Reconstruction Grants: Funding for the reconstruction or restaging
of American dance works that are artistically, historically, & culturally
significant. AMD Reconstruction Grant projects must include educational
& interpretive components such as study guides, student performances, lectures, &
exhibitions.
Projects must also have a substantial performance/touring aspect to
ensure that the works reach the broadest possible audience. Because AMD views
touring as essential to the success of a project, Reconstruction Grants will be
awarded in conjunction with AMD Touring Grants. In selecting projects, AMD will
consider scale, geographic reach, & the representation of diverse
ethnicities & artistic forms, as well as the historic significance of the work(s).
Deadline: Wednesday, March 1.
AMD Touring Grants: Support for the presentation & distribution of the
work created by Reconstruction Grant recipients & a limited number of other
nominated tours each touring season. Dance companies may apply to
receive Reconstruction &/or Touring Grants, with a limit of one proposed
project in each category (although the project can consist of multiple works &/or
choreographers.) AMD College Component: AMD funding will also be available to colleges & universities, through a program administered by Dance/USA, to support
the restaging, performance, & documentation of significant dance choreography in order to provide dance students with access to the rich, but often inaccessible,
legacy of American dance history. (Deadline: April 3.) Visit the NEFA Web site
for access to program descriptions & application materials. Contact: Elissa
