The 2012–13 Season marks DANCENOW’s tenth year of programming dance at Joe’s Pub. The season kicks off with the 2012 DANCENOW Joe’s Pub Festival featuring an exciting lineup of 40 choreographers/dance companies over five evenings from Wednesday September 5th through Saturday September 8th, including our new ENCORE evening on Saturday September 15, featuring the top ten choreographers whose work best meets the DANCENOW Challenge which asks festival artists to take our “less is more” mantra truly to heart and create a choreographic work of five minutes or less that makes aconcise artistic statement.
Each evening, the audience will vote for a Challenge winner who will receive a free weeklong creative residency at DANCENOW Silo on Kirkland Farm in Pennsylvania. One winner from the entire festival run, selected by DANCENOW producers and advisors, will receive a $1,000 creative development stipend, a free weeklong creative residency at Silo on Kirkland Farm, and a 20-hour space grant from the Gibney Dance Center.
Continuing its signature short-takes format, the DANCENOW Joe’s Pub Festival showcases a wide-range of work by emerging and established artists, offering audiences a look at the rich diversity of dance in New York City.
The festival serves as a testing ground for new ideas, providing artists with a unique opportunity to experiment with their craft and create work for New York City’s “best tiny stage.”
