ARCOS Presents: Short Form

ARCOS Presents is a production mentorship program for “emerging-into-self-producing” dance artists based in Austin. The program serves as a laboratory to prepare artists to be nimble, courageous, and willing to take creative risks by tackling tough ideas in new ways. The 2025 ARCOS Presents Short Form awardees present a bill of new dance works while gaining skills and growing capacity in all aspects of producing art on their own terms. 

• “Delicates” by Anna Bauer with Celeste Camfield 
  
• “The Tale of the Swamp Witch” by The Clubhouse (Sarah Smith + Gabbi Melton) 
  
• “Mestizo” by AJ Flores 
  
• “Empty Beat” by Nandini Majumdar and Venese Alcantar 

Each of the selected short-form artists are making the most of what the ARCOS Presents program provides: financial support for a production budget, technical inventory access, rehearsal and performance space, and creative thought-partnership from technical production to outreach. ARCOS is delighted to guide these artists through the process of producing their projects for audiences at CRASHBOX.
