ADT:RAW – Applications now open
ADT:RAW is a rapid-fire dance catalyst that invites South Australian dance makers to develop fast and furious new works at ADT’s home, The Odeon.
Open to individuals and collectives at every stage of their career, ADT:RAW is designed to supercharge the development of a new work. Each project gets 3 hours of studio time, a $300 stipend, and support from ADT’s artistic team. Artists will then take to the stage and present a short in-development showing for an audience.
This is an opportunity for play and experimentation – encouraging artists to trust their instincts, throw caution to the wind, and be energised by the momentum of a new idea.
Applications are now open and close on Friday 27 September. ADT:RAW three hour sessions will be scheduled between 28 October – 8 November. Successful applicants will work with ADT to find a suitable studio time upon being accepted into the program. There will be a tech rehearsal/run-through on 8 November. The showings will take place on the 9 November. A full schedule will be confirmed with the successful applicants.
ADT wants work that is raw. They’re looking for the initial seed of an idea – connecting audiences and artists at the formative stages of new works by choreographers. They encourage applications that are formally ambitious, involve cross-disciplinary creatives or seem wild and unwieldy.
ADT is not interested in perfection. ADT:RAW is about flexing your muscles, extending your practice, and being daring.
