aMaSSiT 2018 Thinking Workshops

The 2018 season of aMaSSiT will emphasize artistic and administrative process. How does our creative process contribute to the success of our work in the scope of generating, structuring, and resolving movement? How does our administrative process, or lack thereof, contribute to the success of our work in terms of funding, promoting, and presenting our project? This session of aMaSSiT will pay equal mind to both of these questions by providing participants with two series of workshops, THINKING and MOVING. While the MOVING workshops and showings are confined to our 2018 aMaSSIT cohort, the THINKING workshops are open to the public.

These discussion seminars will focus on various elements of being a successful administrator and director of your art. Topics will focus on the business of dance, including building effective relationships, providing and accepting critical response, marketing, development, and touring.

"Producer Relations"

This class will focus on the concept of touring, regionally and beyond. Encompassed within this topic will be how to build relationships with and understand the needs of the Technical Director and Producer as a whole of the theater at which you are presenting work.

What is aMaSSiT (a Make it/Share it/Show iT Choreography Lab)?

aMaSSiT is your next deep step in identifying and articulating your unique choreographic voice. First introduced in 2013, The Dance Complex’s aMaSSiT program is a four-month long course of class "labs" focusing on choreographic skills and tool building. This unique program - open to choreographers of all dance genres - is structured both to foster those early in their choreographic ventures and and to deeply challenge artists with years of experience.

In the past, The Dance Complex has invited a variety of dance makers to join the lab, including those specializing in tap, burlesque, musical theater, contemporary ballet, and modern. The aMaSSiT program has received recognition and praise from dance professionals both locally and nationally, including Dance Magazine. aMaSSiT is funded, in part, by Cambridge Arts and Boston Moving Arts Productions.
