A new, two-year project to promote an arts partnership between the United
States and Cuba was announced Tuesday by the Joyce Theater Foundation and
the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The project is designed to offer Cubans arts
administration training, internships and help creating a new dance work to
be performed at the Joyce Theater. 

The project is funded with a $215,000 grant to the Joyce and the academy
from the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation, which supports the arts and
exchanges between arts organizations here and abroad. Other partners in the
initiative are the choreographer Ronald K. Brown and the nonprofit Ludwig
Foundation of Cuba, which promotes contemporary Cuban artists and culture. 

Mr. Brown will travel to Cuba to select a Cuban dance company to create a
new work, to be performed at the Joyce in May 2014. The Cuban dance company
will also participate in a production residency at the Joyce with Mr. Brown
and his company, Evidence, A Dance Company. 

I had an amazing time when I went to Cuba in 2001 and had the opportunity
to meet some artists, so I am grateful for this awesome opportunity, Mr.
Brown said in a statement. 

The program begins this month with a professional development seminar in
Havana led by Joyce and academy staff members, who will work with 20 Cuban
arts professionals selected by the Ludwig Foundation. Four participants
from the seminar will be invited to New York this fall and in spring of
2014 for internships at both the Joyce and the academy. The Joyce and the
Brooklyn Academy of Music worked together in 2011 on the Sí Cuba! Festival.
