Applications are now open for the 2025 season of the Brand Associates Dance Series. This series, which began in the 1960s, showcases leading dance companies from Southern California, performing site-specific works in unique, outdoor settings at the Brand Library & Art Center. Dance companies with a minimum of five years of experience, who can present educational, site-specific, outdoor dance programs suitable for audiences of all ages, are encouraged to apply.
The series is curated by Jamie Nichols, a highly acclaimed dancer, choreographer, and the Artistic Director of the contemporary dance company Fast Feet (1980-2003). Nichols has received six Lester Horton Dance Awards and was honored by the Dance Resource Center of LA with the prestigious Furthering the Visibility of Dance Award. As the Executive Producer of Celebrate Dance for a decade, she presented 70 dance companies at the Alex Theatre. Currently, she teaches movement for actors and contemporary dance in Los Angeles.
The Brand Associates sponsor the Dance Series and provide an honorarium to all selected dance companies. Those selected will be required to attend a mandatory photoshoot at the Brand Library & Art Center, which will be scheduled for January or February 2025. Performances for the Dance Series are planned for Saturdays in May 2025.
Applications will be accepted until September 30, 2024. Dance groups from diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply. For more information and to submit an application, visit BrandLibrary.org/Dance-Series-Application.
