Kingsley Irons, choreographer, filmmaker and Artistic Director of “Dances Made to Order” says: “We firmly believe talented artists should be compensated for their work, and that we need to find new ways of funding the arts. We support the work of emerging artists with unique points of view. The choreographers we feature in our series come from diverse backgrounds: from contemporary, modern, hip-hop, Afro-Latin, belly dance and classical Indonesian. We offer a curated, online program as an alternative to the deluge of un-curated video content on the internet. We recognize that the way audiences consume media is changing. We want dance film/video to have a place in the changing media landscape by presenting it through a forum that is unfettered by the constraints of geography, time and distance.”
Dances Made to Order not only provides a global distribution platform for dance film, DMO also shares its profits :65% of DMO ticket revenue goes back to the artists; an additional 10% goes to each of the curatorial partners.
