Project Title
On Campus—a dance for college campus employees
Fiscal Year Awarded
2017
Grant or Program
National Dance Project Production Grant
Grant Amount
$44,000

On Campus is a dance for campus employees, created through a multi-visit residency at a host college/university. Featuring the skilled movement of a distinct group of employees, such as dishwashers, custodians, physical plant staff, or maintenance crews, the dance will highlight the virtuosic work life of staff as performed by the employees themselves. Broadening awareness of the contributions of employees to campus life, On Campus aims to create a greater sense of community by allowing students, staff, and faculty to address equity and build connection through a community-based dance-making process. Estimated artist fee: $65,000/two year creation process and performance(s)
