The Tribeca Performing Arts Center is still accepting applications for our 2010-11 Artists-in-Residence season. The application deadline has now been extended to June 21, 2010. Beginning in September 2010, the selected artists will have weekly access to our theaters and the opportunity to present during the "Work & Show Festival" in the spring of 2011.

This year's talented dancers, choreographers, playwrights and musicians have spent countless hours in our theaters honing their respective crafts while developing a piece for the "Work & Show Festival," June 3-20, 2010. They will debut these new productions ? spanning Irish, American, Indian, and Chinese cultural influences ? during the first three weeks of June: Choreographer Edisa Weeks (in collaboration with composer Joe Phillips) explores Thomas Paine through dance, music and text; playwright Dolores Rice examines the "ties that bind" in her moving narrative of an Irish-American family; musicians Likeness to Lily personalize current affairs with their operatic, multimedia journey of a veteran's return home; Parijat Desai Dance Company and Yin Mei reframe classical Indian love songs and the ancient Chinese art of calligraphy respectively; and playwrights Crowley & Rau speak to contemporary suburban culture.
