Each Work Trade position has pre-allocated hours that are all mandatory for the position (outside of emergencies and sickness). For every hour that the Work Trade works they will receive 25 Velocity Work Trade Credits. One Velocity Work Trade Credit is worth $1.
Applications will be assessed based on the applicant’s experience and their interest in the position and Velocity’s programming as expressed in their cover letter. LEARN MORE

OUT THERE APPLICATION
Velocity Dance Center is proud to announce a call for OUT THERE, our Regional Creative Incubator. OUT THERE is an annual, two week dance festival that bolsters West Coast movement artists for their lineage of making work that innovates our field. This festival is for artists that have the audacity, bravado, and experimental spirit, to vision their work to new scales.
OUT THERE showcases two different weekends with two different artists each weekend– a new, thirty minute work by a Seattle Artist which is made in residence at SFD+I and the Seattle premiere of an existing thirty minute work by an artist from the West Coast Region. This structure fills the need in our community for shared, regional discourse and connection to Seattle artists and touring opportunities for artists in the greater West Coast Region. APPLY
