WESTFEST: ALL OVER WESTBETH 2024 APPLICATION
WestFest: All Over Westbeth is a site-specific program showing a variety of unconventional and unique approaches to dance and space within the Westbeth Artists' Residence buildings. 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE PROCESS & TIMELINE:
Each artist will be assigned a unique space in and around the Westbeth building in which they will have the opportunity to rehearse and build a dance. We ask that artists create a 4-5 minute piece that can be performed multiple times for groups of audiences touring the sites.

On the days of the show, groups of audience members will be guided from site to site to see the dances all over the building. Past sites have included: Westbeth’s inner and outer courtyards, long hallways, spiral staircases, the gallery space, boiler room, and the rooftop.
