Calling choreographers and dance makers!
There is so much going on with the RestartNY: Live Performance initiative. Finally, Sangeeta Yesley of Creative Performances has been able to curate a Dance Festival in November 2021.
Dance Bloc NYC is Dixon Place's dance festival. At Dance Block NYC, festival artists will have the opportunity to showcase their dance work in Dixon Place Theater. Dixon Place's mission is to present new work, both works-in-progress and finished work, by early & mid-career artists. Dixon Place is a FULLY EQUIPPED PERFORMANCE SPACE measuring 35 ft X 20 ft with a SPRUNG MASONITE FLOOR. View Dixon Place's COVID Guidelines
The 2021 Festival will provide opportunities for choreographers from all genres of dance forms to showcase work around the following themes:
1. Strength
