Dear colleagues:
Below please find information on an exciting opportunity to create
connections between conservation scientists and movement artists in the
New York City area.  As a member of the Board of Trustees for iLAND, I
would be more than happy to connect any interested scientist with a
movement artist as we have many more interested dancers than scientists.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at pdukus at yahoo.com with the
subject "iland grant".
Many thanks!
Phaedra Doukakis, Ph.D.

ILAB Collaborative Residency
iLAB is a collaborative residency program between movement based artists
and scientists, environmentalists, urban designers/landscape architects,
architects and others that integrate creative practices within their
different
fields and disciplines.
The goals of iLAB are:
- to invigorate and re-imagine relationships between the public and
the urban environment through kinetic experience,
- to engage artists and practitioners across the disciplines of dance,
art, and the ecology of physical interrelationships such that we
create and investigate innovative approaches to science,
infrastructure, urbanisms, and architecture within a performative
context,
- to support the development of process in engagement over product
such that process is itself a product for artistic and public action.

Honoraria
For each residency iLAB will provide up to $1,000 honorarium for each
artist/collaborator, $300 towards materials, administrative support
including publicity, public outreach, and consultation with other
organizations, and contributors.

Residency Schedules
Schedules can be flexible to accommodate the team's needs but must be two
weeks minimum and one month maximum during the months of May through
October 2008.

Proposals
Proposals should include an outline of the goals and plans for
implementation
of the collaborative process envisioned and should include a clear format
for engaging the public in the project. The proposed collaborative
projects may
include but are not limited to performances, fieldwork, experiments,
exhibits,
installations, workshops, restoration projects or any combinations there of.

Each proposal MUST include some form of public interactions/engagement
with the creative process of the collaboration.

Selection Criteria
Proposals will be selected based on the projects ability to provide a clear
collaborative process, its engagement with the ecology of New York City and
it's ability to engage the public in some way with the creative process of
the collaboration. Emerging artists/collaborators are encouraged to apply.
The
