CUNY Dance Initiative Sets 2015 Residencies

The CUNY Dance Initiative (CDI) is awarding 26 dance companies/choreographers residencies at 11 CUNY colleges in 2015. A new residency program heading into its second year, CDI opens the doors of CUNY campuses to New York City choreographers and dance companies by assisting the colleges with artist fees, rehearsal expenses, and marketing efforts.

Between January and December 2015, 11 CUNY colleges in all five boroughs will host a total of 26 residencies. The residency artists and their projects represent a range of ideas and styles that reflect the diversity of the CUNY communities. In addition to providing space for artists to create work and rehearse, all of the CDI projects include programs for students ? master classes, open rehearsals ? along with public events such as lecture-demonstrations and performances.

Artists were selected through an open application process, and each campus chose its residency companies. Four artists from 2014 are continuing their residencies in 2015 (indicated by a *), and a complete list of CUNY colleges and 2015 residency artists follows.
