Norte Maar for Collaborative Projects in the Art announces a call for choreographers for its 13th annual season of CounterPointe: new work by women choreographers and their collaborations with women artists.
Deadline: December 6, 2025
Performances are March 20-22, 2026 at The Mark O'Donnell Theater at the Entertainment Community Fund in Brooklyn. We are interested in producing a program which represents the cultural diversity of NYC. There is no house style, though the pointe shoe must be a part of the work.
Interested women choreographers should be based in the NYC-metro area, have experience of presenting work, and be committed to collaborating with a visual artist. If selected, Norte Maar will select and connect you with a collaborator; Norte Maar curates this pairing. You will have approximately 2 months to create a new work together. Choreographers and artists each receive a $700 fee.
To apply:
Email a brief cover letter addressing your interest in collaboration and links to recent choreography. Include a links to works for stage. Please also include either a link to work on pointe or express why you are interested in working with or about pointe.
