Aimed Dance is seeking works to be featured during Festival Concert I (July 11 - 13) and Festival Concert II (July 18 - 20) presenting professional companies and choreographies from across the region and nation right here in Southeast Texas. Professional works 4 - 12 minutes in length demonstrating clarity of overall choreographic vision, attention to movement invention, and sophisticated design choices from a diverse perspective and background through a contemporary lens are invited to apply for consideration.
