Down and Dirty Dance Series 2009-2010
Grant Recipients
WOW!! Your all really know how to get down! We received over 70 applicants for only three spots in the Down and Dirty Dance Series! Artist were based throughout California and the US and even overseas. The talent was fierce and mad diverse - with artists applying in all sorts of disciplines from circus to Congolese. So what do we do? We consulted the i-ching, looked at our astrology charts, banged our heads against the walls, postponed the announcement of the grant recipients and then ended up adding weekends and then added days to our definition of a weekend! We looked at many many different criteria when coming up with the line-up... but uh, don't ask us what they were. What we couldn't tell you. Ooh, dirty. What we can tell you tho is that you all better apply again next year as the creativity and extreme talent was most inspiring!
That being said, here are the recipients of the Down and Dirty Dance Series 2009-2010 for the weeks of Nov 20-22, January 8-10, January 22-24, July 9-11, and July 16-19:
