Pulse Dance Company, in partnership with Studio Pulse Center for Dance, is celebrating 15 years of innovate concert dance in Anchorage by accepting applications for BLOOM, an artist-in-residence program for contemporary dance makers (18+).
BLOOM is a program which provides select choreographers with studio space, monetary support, and mentorship to create and present new works 6:00–10:00 minute in length. This year, new works will be presented at the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts on May 2 & 3. Choreographers will also receive video footage for archival and grant application purposes.
Apply by 6 PM on February 25 to be considered.
Open community auditions for potential dancers are scheduled for March 4th at 8 PM. Choreographers must be present. Rehearsals are held primarily on weekends, with some weekday evening exceptions. Twice weekly rehearsals are encouraged for those who are able.
To apply, please submit the following information to PulseDanceCompany@gmail.com by 5pm on 2/25/2025.
Late applications will not be considered. Applicants will be contacted by February 29th.
• Name and age
• Dance resume
• 1-3 links to videos of past choreographic works
• A brief summary of why you would like to be considered for BLOOM, including how you think being selected would contribute to your growth as an artist.
• The ideas you’re interested in exploring for your work, how many dancers you might like to collaborate with (or if you're most interested in a solo!) and any other pertinent information regarding your artistic vision.
• Any other specific needs or assistance you would find beneficial if selected as a BLOOM artist in residence.
Please note that this residency values immersion of various dancers and dance communities. BLOOM exists to support the development of individual dance makers outside of any other dance affiliations. Interested performers must participate in the audition process to be cast.
