DanceNOW is Here!
15th Anniversary Season Continues through Sept. 12
2009 marks the 15th anniversary season of the DanceNOW [NYC] Festival. In celebration of its grass roots evolvement from the tiny ‘DanceNOW’ program during the annual Downtown Arts Festival into one of NYC’s most comprehensive presenting arts organizations DanceNOW [NYC] is bringing together seventy-five choreographers in three different downtown venues that will honor its past, present and future direction. The festivities have already kicked-off at it home base at Dance Theater Workshop, where it has been focused exclusively since 2005, and it will continue there through Saturday, September 12th. Five specially curated events are featuring fifty choreographers and their companies, presenting 4OUp and Base Camp artists alongside of Raw Festival discoveries to offer a glimpse into its history which has provided threshold opportunities for many of today’s most exciting and innovative dance makers. At the end of September, DanceNOW will venture, as part of its new partnership with FAB! and DMAC-Duo Multicultural Arts Center to Fourth Arts Block, to offer a lively and energetic in-door/out-door program for the annual FAB! Festival & Block Party. October 22 through 24, DanceNOW will wind up its anniversary celebration at Joe’s Pub where it created the Dancemopolitan series in 2003 as part of the annual DanceNOW [NYC] Festival. Ten to twelve artists will be featured in a Live Music and Text Series.
