W-I-P Works-in-Progress is a unique dance and movement based lab. W-I-P utilizes Liz Lerman's Critical Response Process to aid artists in developing their work. W-I-P is a long-running collaboration with Jump-Start Performance Co. WIP provides a low-tech opportunity to receive feedback on movement- based work that is new or in progress. It is a innovative choreography development program created not only to facilitate the development of new works by dance artists but also to establish a dialogue between the dancer, choreographer, and audience. Artists are encouraged to present new works and to take part in an affirming, facilitated discussion based on choreographer Liz Lerman's Critical Response Process. Steps of the Liz Lerman Critical Response Process: 1.Statements of Meaning: Responders state what was meaningful, evocative, interesting, exciting, striking in the work they have just witnessed. 2.Artist as Questioner: The artist asks questions about the work. After each question, the responders answer. Responders may express opinions if they are in direct response to the question asked and do not contain suggestions for changes. 3.Neutral Questions: Responders ask neutral questions about the work. The artist responds. Questions are neutral when they do not have an opinion couched in them. For example, if you are discussing the lighting of a scene, “Why was it so dark?” is not a neutral question. “What ideas guided your choices about lighting?” is. 4. Opinion Time: Responders state opinions, subject to permission from theartist. The usual form is “I have an opinion about ______, would you like to hear it?” The artist has the option to decline opinions for any reason. (We do not usually do this step) WIP is held 7pm at the Jump-Start Performance Company (710 Fredericksburg, San Antonio, TX 78201) on the last Wednesday of the month. Rules and Guidelines:There is no age limit for WIP, but the work must be the artist's own. Choreographer or creating artist must be present (if there are special circumstances, please let coordinators know before scheduling). Choreographers will be paid an honorarium for participation and will receive a video of their performance. WIP does not grant comp tickets to friends or family of performers. WIP is a low cost event ($3-$5) and all funds go back into the program. Preference will be given to San Antonio artists, though out of town artists are welcome to apply. You must fill out the Confirmation form to secure your spot. You must prepare at least 2 questions for the audience (step 2 of CRP) Photo Requirements: Photo must be 300 dpi and a minimum of 4” x 6”. No photos with watermarks or signatures will be accepted. Try using freeware IrfanView app to resize photos http://www.irfanview.com Artist should make sure that photos are shot close up. Photos where the artist is too far from the camera is not visually pleasing or effective on marketing materials. It also helps if there isn’t too much background clutter.

What We Do: Overview Multi-Family Housing Program Merced owns or has developed 13 quality, affordable homes for 1,450 families in these Texas cities: San Antonio, Somerset, Conroe, Corpus Christi, Fort Worth, Karnes City and Goliad. Through our multi-family, single-family and Owner-Occupied Emergency Repairs Programs, Merced serves more than 1,949 households. When developments currently in the pipeline are complete, Merced will serve more than 2,984 households in Bexar, Montgomery, Nueces and Goliad counties in Texas. At Merced, we believe in providing more than simply shelter. In keeping with our mission, we provide services at our multi-family properties that support residents’ efforts to raise healthy families and become self-sufficient, fully participating members of society. Resident Services Program At each multi-family property, we provide services to help residents achieve self sufficiency. The Resident Services program has four focus areas: youth, education and employment, financial literacy, and health. Services are provided on-site or through a referral system. A Resident Services Coordinator works at each property to bring events, activities and resources to residents. A significant percentage of residents in two of Merced's multi-family properties are military families, and Merced considers the special needs of military families. Single-Family Program Merced’s Single-Family Program revitalizes inner-city neighborhoods by providing home-ownership opportunities to low-income families. Merced acquires dilapidated homes and completely rehabilitates them or constructs new infill homes and sells them to qualifying low-income families. Serve Our Seniors (SOS) Minor Repair Program Through the Serve Our Seniors Minor Repair Program, Merced helps extremely low-income senior and disabled homeowners who cannot afford to keep their homes safe, sanitary or structurally sound. Merced makes health- and safety-related repairs at no cost to the homeowners. The SOS Program enables very low-income senior and disabled persons to stay in the homes they own and love. We also have found that receiving SOS assistance often restores faith and hope to seniors whose existence has become bleak because of their limited means.
