Creation Board Dancer for Doug Varone & Dancers’ “DEVICES: Choreographic Intensive”
May 22-27, 2022 @ Hunter College (map)
Allison is thrilled to have been selected as one of the “creation board” dancers for Doug Varone and Dancers’ DEVICES intensive. DEVICES: Choreographic Intensive & Mentorship is a program designed for choreographers, which kicks off with a 6-day intensive retreat in the dance studios of Hunter College in New York City where Doug Varone will share ideas about craft, design and composition. Key to Doug's process has been the development of finely honed creative games and devices, in which an abundance of material is built quickly then shaped and molded carefully to the specific needs of each dance. A “creation board” of dancers selected by Doug and the Company will be on hand so that participants can create their exercises and studies with dancers versed in this way of working.

A+E Lab / 14th Choreographic Coding Lab (Chatham UK)
July 4-8, 2022 @ A+E Lab in Chatham UK (map)
Allison will be joining the Choreographic Coding Lab (CCL) at the new A+E Lab in Chatham, UK where movement hackers and practitioners will gather to discuss and work on projects, ideas and challenges in a peer-to-peer setting. The CCL format offers unique opportunities of exchange and collaboration for digital media ‘code savvy’ artists who have an interest in translating aspects of choreography and dance into digital form and applying choreographic thinking to their own practice. This format supports working with patterns in movement scores and structures through finding, generating and applying them with results ranging from prototypes for artworks to new plug-ins for working with dance related datasets. The CCLs seek to support a sustainable collaborative practice among its participants, encouraging ongoing exchange in a growing artistic research community. Results from the previous CCLs can be found here.

A Manifesto for Creative Producing
September 8, 2021 | 9:00am - 10:00am EST @ Arts Electronica Festival “A New Digital Deal”
As interdisciplinary collaboration emerges as a vital linchpin in an increasingly interconnected world, the role of Creative Producer is coming to the fore. We appear across industries and sectors, and can broadly be identified by a common commitment to collaborative process, relationship building, and creative problem solving. For many, having self-defined and developed our practice independently, we are now looking for community and collective professional identity. 22 creative producers across 10 countries and 4 continents will gather to critically reflect on our role and the impact it has on the New Digital Deal, and co-author a manifesto for Creative Producing.
During the festival session Lizzie Crouch and Nicholas Medvescek will bring together the creative producer cohort to reflect on their experiences during the six week program and discuss how, through greater definition of the role, approaches and values, and the establishment of a community we aim to have greater impact as Creative Producers.
The 22 Creative Producers: Allison Costa (US), Ana Prendes (GB), Christiana Kazakou (GB), Cui Yin Mok (SG), Hyash Tanmoy (IN), Illya Szilak (US), Ilona Puskas (HU), Justin Berry (US), Kavita Gonsalves (AU), Kazz Morohashi (GB), Kofi Oduro (CA), Komal Jain (IN), Lizzie Crouch (GB), Madhushree Kamak (IN), Maria Kuzmina (RU), Mark Bolotin (AU), Matt Gingold (AU), Nicholas Medvescek (US), Ravin Raori (GB), Robin Reid (US), Viviana Quea (AT), Zeynep Birsel (NL)
