Doris Duke Charitable Foundation Invites LOIs for Building Demand for the Arts Program
Deadline: April 24, 2015 (Letter of Intent)
The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation is accepting applications for its Building Demand for the Arts program (formerly called Doris Duke Artist Residencies to Build Demand for the Arts grants).
The annual program supports organizations and artists working to develop audience demand for jazz, theatre, and/or contemporary dance. While many programs focus on the supply side of the supply/demand equation, this program is predicated on the belief that artists and organizations can work together in imaginative ways to create and pilot methods of reaching the public and developing interest in and access to the performing arts. Among other things, the grants are intended to promote deeper partnerships, longer relationships, and new kinds of conversation and cooperation between organizations and artists. At the same time, they provide substantial resources to artists and afford organizations the opportunity to embark on new kinds of behavior.

Dance Generators Shake It Up At Spring Concert
The Dance
Generators present their annual concert of new works on Thursday and Friday, March
26 and 27 at 7pm and Saturday, March 28 at 2pm in
partnership with the Northampton Center for the Arts. The shows take place at
the Arts Trust Building, 33 Hawley Street in Northampton. This year’s Dance
Generators program is the first concert under the direction of Maureen Shea,
who rejoined the company as its Artistic Director in August 2014, bringing many
new performing members into the group.
Dance Generators is a
multi-generational performance company consisting of dancers in their
mid-twenties to age 90. Company members come together through a shared love of dancing and commitment to making innovative
performance. Their work challenges audiences’ ideas about dance and
shakes up stereotypes about aging. This year's concert is a window into the growing
artistry of these movers and shakers.
'Legacy' is explored in Shea's most
recent dance work. Audiences witness three solos, a taste of a concert of solos
to be presented in this fall. And choreographer Fritha Pengelly previews her
latest work-in-progress, to be performed in its entirety locally on May 31.
Founded in 1997 by Amie Dowling, and
then directed by Kristin Horrigan from 2006 to 2014, the Dance Generators tour
widely throughout New England, including regular performances and community
classes for all ages at local theaters, schools, senior residences, and
community centers.
Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for students and seniors,
and $10 for children under 12. They are available online at www.nohoarts.org and will be sold at the
door (cash or check only) one hour in advance of each performance.
