Juilliard 2013 Summer Grants Awarded to Six Student Projects

Juilliard's 2013 summer grants supporting innovative summer educational and artistic residencies are going to dance, drama, and music students working abroad and in the United States. The wide ranging projects will take place in Tokyo, Japan;Nairobi, Kenya; the West Bank; and in the United States to the Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia; Garland, Texas; and Cleveland, Ohio.These residencies are part of Juilliard's extensive outreach program and have been funded by the School since the program began more than twenty years ago (in 1991). Each spring semester, a call for proposals urges students to plan the artistic and administrative elements of unique projects, which in the past have taken Juilliard's young artists around the world - to Brazil, Guatemala, Haiti, Indonesia, Kenya, Korea, Nigeria, Nova Scotia, Peru, The Philippines, Scotland, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. Some, such as Art Powers Arusha in Tanzania (founded in 2009); Artists Striving to End Poverty (ASTEP) with projects in New York, India, Florida, Africa, and Ecuador; and Detroit Arts Immersion (founded in 2009) have become continuing programs. These summer residencies deepen the students' understanding of their role and impact as artists, and the projects benefit others, often in underserved areas of the United States and the world. Many are created in conjunction with local organizations and existing programs to better match an area's need. The participants in these projects document their work and share it with the Juilliard community during the School's convocation ceremony in September. (more...)
