  • Performance Measurement Report
    THEATER SUBDISTRICT COUNCIL, LDC Performance Measurement Report I. How efficiently or effectively has TSC been in making grants which serve to enhance the long- term viability of Broadway through the production of plays and small musicals? The TSC awards grants, among other purposes, to facilitate the production of plays and musicals. The current round, awarding over $2.16 million in grants for programs, which have or are expected to result in the production of plays or musicals, have been awarded to the following organizations: • Classical Theatre of Harlem $100,000 (2009) Evaluation: A TSC grant enabled the Classical Theatre of Harlem to produce Archbishop Supreme Tartuffe at the Harold Clurman Theatre on Theatre Row in Summer 2009. This critically acclaimed reworking of Moliere’s Tartuffe directed by Alfred Preisser and featuring Andre DeShields was an audience success. The play was part of the theater’s Project Classics initiative, designed to bring theater to an underserved and under-represented segment of the community. Marketing efforts successfully targeted audiences from north of 116th Street through deep discounts and other ticket offers. • Fractured Atlas $200,000 (2010) Evaluation: Fractured Atlas used TSC support for a three-part program to improve the efficiency of rehearsal and performance space options, gather useful workspace data, and increase the availability of affordable workspace for performing arts groups in the five boroughs. Software designers created a space reservation calendar and rental engine; software for an enhanced data-reporting template was written, and strategies to increase the use of nontraditional spaces for rehearsal and performance were developed. • Lark Play Development Center $160,000 (2010) Evaluation: Lark selected four New York playwrights from diverse backgrounds to participate in a new fellowship program: Joshua Allen, Thomas Bradshaw, Bekah Brunstetter, and Andrea Thome.

  • Choreography for the Camera AB
    Course Title CHOREOGRAPHY FOR THE CAMERA A/B Course CHORFORCAMER A/B Abbreviation Course Code 190121/22 Number Special Notes Year course. Prerequisite: 1 semester of any dance composition class, and 1 semester of any dance technique class. Prerequisite can be waived based-on comparable experience. Course This course provides a practical and theoretical introduction to dance for the camera, Description including choreography, video production and post-production as pertains to this genre of experimental filmmaking. To become familiar with the form, students will watch, read about, and discuss seminal dance films. Through studio-based exercises, viewings and discussions, we will consider specific approaches to translating, contextualizing, framing, and structuring movement in the cinematic format. Choreographic practices will be considered and practiced in terms of the spatial, temporal and geographic alternatives that cinema offers dance – i.e. a three-dimensional, and sculptural presentation of the body as opposed to the proscenium theatre. We will practice effectively shooting dance with video cameras, including basic camera functions, and framing, as well as employing techniques for play on gravity, continuity of movement and other body-focused approaches. The basics of non-linear editing will be taught alongside the craft of editing. Students will fulfill hands-on assignments imparting specific techniques. For mid-year and final projects, students will cut together short dance film pieces that they have developed through the various phases of the course. Students will have the option to work independently, or in teams on each of the assignments. At the completion of the course, students should have an informed understanding of the issues involved with translating the live form of dance into a screen art.

    Accessible Arts Calendar Summary 2019 Current Venues and Shows Updated 9-4-19 – The VSA Minnesota Accessible Arts Calendar lists arts events that proactively offer accessibility accommodations such as: ASL (American Sign Language Interpreting), AD (Audio Description), CC (Closed Captioning), OC (Open or Scripted Captioning), DIS (performers with disabilities), or SENS (Sensory-friendly accommodations) which are inclusive for children on the autism spectrum. The main Accessible Arts Calendar listings (emailed monthly through August 2019 and online at http://vsamn.org/community/calendar) offer descriptions of shows, authors, directors, describer & interpreter names, ticket prices, discounts, dates for Pay What You Can (PWYC), and more. This Current Venues and Shows list supplements the Accessible Arts Calendar. On our website as a Resource under Community (http://vsamn.org/community/resources-community/), it summarizes shows at arts venues across Minnesota: plays, concerts, exhibits, films, storytelling, etc. It’s limited to what we learn about and have time to include. The venues are organized alphabetically by Twin Cities venues and then by Greater Minnesota venues. They may offer accessible performances proactively or upon request. Words in GREEN identify some accessibility accommodations. We assume all auditoriums and bathrooms are wheelchair-accessible and theatres with fixed seating have assistive listening devices, unless noted otherwise. Both calendars will be discontinued after September 2019 when VSA Minnesota ceases operation.
