The National Endowment for the Arts is spending $30,000 for a series of dance performances, including Doggie Hamlet.
The “conceptual art” features actors yelling and running at sheep in a field in Vermont. Dartmouth College received the funding in the latest round of NEA grants released this month.
The grant was awarded “[t]o support residencies, performances, and related activities at the Hopkins Center.” According to the grant description, “[t]heater and multidisciplinary artists, musicians, composers, choreographers, and dancers will develop and present their projects through residencies.
Events and participating artists include Mark Morris Dance Group’s ‘Layla and Majnun’; Dorrance Dance and partners Toshi Reagon and BIGLovely’s ‘The Blues Project’; and choreographer and performance artist Ann Carlson’s ‘Doggie Hamlet.’”
