NEWS
Boutique Roster:
We have two spots open on the Boutique Roster this year! Make sure to apply on/before May 15, 2012 to be considered!
The Boutique Roster consists of self-representing and enthusiastically
ready-to-book dance companies from New York City and across the
country. JK&A represents these highly accomplished dance artists at
conferences and they then book directly with theater presenters. This
is an opportunity to increase company exposure to potential presenters
worldwide. Great news is that several Boutique Roster companies booked
performances as a direct result of their affiliation with JK&A
including Jacob's Pillow. And several JK&A artists were booked “on
the spot” at the APAP conferences with artists getting tours to Korea,
a month-long tour to Italy, and several new USA bookings with Jacob’s
Pillow and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (both regular attendees
at JK&A’s showcases).
The Boutique Roster encourages and supports its artists to network with each other and theaters worldwide.
