BEings: Receives FAR Space Grant

The Field

Probably the best thing that has happened to the company to date is that we just received a FAR Space Grant! This basically means that we now will have subsidized rehearsal space 6 hours per week, every week, for 3 months!  The FAR Space is sponsored by The Field.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with The Field, you should make sure to check out their website.  They offer so many great things for new and established artists alike.

'The Field:

-assists artists in making clear, cogent work through peer-oriented feedback groups
-produces performance festivals focused on the exhibition of new work
-sends artists on retreats at arts colonies such as White Oak (FL) and Earthdance (MA) to create new material and develop new collaborations.
-provides free rehearsal and performance space grants in the FAR Space, our new Chelsea gallery district studio.'

The opportunity to have that much time in a studio is incredible.  We will be receiving 50 hours of space AND rehearsal will no longer have to be late at night which is very exciting for me and my dancers!  I am sure this will allow lots of new and exciting things to enfold.

I know I promised the video from the Works in Progress Series and it will be up as soon as some unnecessary bits get edited out.

In the meantime, feel free to email me at emilybufferd@danceruniverse.com with any questions, comments, concerns, etc.
