"After being forced into a practice of quarantine homesteading and performance live-streaming, I yearned for the opportunity to share an acoustic space with my buds. In an attempt to link our individual acoustic spaces into one, I created the h0me z0nes meditation ritual, and asked friends to perform and record the ritual to hear how our individual spaces are reflections of our identities and how those sonic identities could interact online."

MMDF2020 offers one commission and numerous paid performance opportunities for choreographers on both the indoor and outdoor stages of the Jamaica Performing Arts Center. The performances are scheduled for Sept. 25-26, 2020.

At this time, we are not able to present our resident artists in public programs at their facilities.

BUT there is good news. We asked our choreographers and composers for work they have developed in the residency that we could post online.

Happily, Joanna Kotze sent this to us - a clip of her recent work at Judson Memorial Church, developed during her residency period at Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning, part of the EtM Choreographer + Composer Residency. Joanna was collaborating with composer Ryan Seaton.

So, check out her blog post, along with photos and video of her new work.

Stay safe and keep working.

A Letter from EtM Choreographer Joanna Kotze Hi Everyone, I hope this finds you safe and healthy during this crazy time we are in. Composer Ryan Seaton and I were privileged to have an Explore the Metropolis Choreographer + Composer residency…

- $2,000 stipend for each artist.
- Three months of free rehearsal space.
