MISSION
Right Here Commissions’ mission is to support and promote the work of Minnesota based, mid-career, performing artists who create original contemporary performance, and introduce new audiences to their work.
RHC’s sole program is the Right Here Showcase.
The Right Here Showcase is an annual juried performance series, each year providing 4 artists a financial commission, with tech, marketing, and administrative support to presenting a 45-60 minute work of contemporary performance. Artists perform on two shared weekends.
HISTORY
The program was founded by Artistic Producer Paul Herwig, a movement theater actor and creator, scenic designer, animation/projection artist, and co-artistic director of Off-Leash Area Contemporary Performance Works, now in its 25th year in Minneapolis.
Since the program’s founding and under Paul’s leadership, the Right Here Showcase has successfully presented a wide range of multi-disciplinary artists through a public call for proposals and a peer panel review process. Panelists and artists are representative of the diversity of the Twin Cities community.
