Twilight Fringe will be an evening of alternative space/outdoor/site dance works at Mesa Arts Center's Brown Sculpture Courtyard on March 25th, 2023. The live performances will begin at 6 pm, and we will have a tech and dress rehearsal schedule earlier that day. Creative work proposals submitted can be new works or re-staged for the Sculpture Courtyard location. Works can be 5 to 15 minutes in length. Open dance/movement genre/style, open to solos, duets, trios, and ensemble/larger group pieces. Presenting artists will receive an artist fee plus free professional documentation (Videography and Photography) of their work for the performance. Third Space Dance Project is looking to present a variety of work that is innovative and considers how the piece can choreographically activate the courtyard space. Tech equipment provided is high quality sound equipment for the outdoors and mics. Arrangement of audience seating is flexible, and works can be immersive such as inviting the audience to change their proximity. Presenting artists for Twilight Fringe will cooperatively decide on the best configuration for seating whether that be in a certain area of the space or an audience "in the round'' set up.
