The Deadline for the 2013 Program Has Passed
Come Back Here for Guidelines in Summer 2013

CHIME Across Borders is a cross-national program that arranges for choreographer-mentors of renown to work in San Francisco with three local dance-makers over the course of one year. Developed along the valued principles that have guided both CHIME in the San Francisco Bay Area and CHIME in Southern California, CHIME Across Borders creates the opportunity for a sustained and intimate exchange between an established master choreographer and Bay Area mentees.
