History
Borrowed in concept from a program originated at the Banff Film & Television
Festival in Alberta, Canada and now featured at film festivals around
the world, the ISPA Pitch Session is designed to attract interest
and investment
from
ISPA colleagues in planned international and/or cross-cultural projects.
At every December Conference since the early 1990’s, and many of the June Congresses delegates were exposed to new works during Pitch sessions. Many of these productions attracted serious interest, which often resulted in successful collaborations.
Delegates in Vancouver heard pitches from the Marrugeku Company (Australia); the Holy Body Tattoo, The Banff Centre for the Arts, and Autumn Leaf Performance (Canada); Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company (United States). The Marrugeku production of Crying Baby gained commitment from a new presenting partner, and other presentations attracted interest in further discussion.
Multi-media presentations given in December 1999 to Conference delegates in New York from Ping Chong & Company / Ensemble Sequentia (multi-national), Sydney Dance Company (Australia), Opera Africa (Africa), China National Culture and Art (China), Birmingham Repertory Theatre (Great Britain), Lines Contemporary Ballet (multi-national), Michael Mao Dance (United States) and Michael Curry (United States).
