Program Description
The Rabbit Island Foundation and Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts at Michigan Technological University announce a residency opportunity specifically for choreographers and composers. This three week residency will embrace collaborative possibility in a profoundly wild setting by offering time, space, and financial support to explore modern environmental ethic via the mediums of dance and music. One individual choreographer and one individual composer will be selected—it is highly likely that they will not have met or worked together previously—and a new collaborative work will be created. The duo will be given a two week residency period on the island, and one week of studio time on the adjacent Keweenaw Peninsula mainland. After the residency, the work will be developed by the composer-choreographer duo with assistance by the Rozsa Center staff, and premiered as part of the Rozsa Center Presenting Series season in 2020-2021.
