Uptown/Downtown Sessions

Application Deadline: Tuesday, February 26, 2008, 5PM

How do you define uptown or downtown work?

Through aesthetics? Culture? Geography?

For seven weeks this spring, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, The Field, and Harlem Arts Alliance will bring together 10 performing artists, five from “uptown,” five from “downtown,” to explore these

questions while developing short works for performance.

What is Uptown/Downtown?

Uptown/Downtown consists of six weekly sessions in which artists will show works in progress and

share non-directorial feedback with a moderator present. Half of the workshops will be held in Harlem

and in Lower Manhattan. A seventh session will feature guest presentations by Manhattan arts professionals.

The workshops will culminate in two consecutive nights of performance in two of Manhattan’s newest

performance venues, Dance New Amsterdam and Harlem Stage.
