WHITE WAVE’s Artistic Director Young Soon Kim founded the WAVE RISING SERIES in 2006 as a platform for companies who may not have the resources to stage full productions of their works. WAVE RISING is one of the only series of its kind in New York City, offering rising choreographers the opportunity to present their work on a large scale, often for the first time, alongside a group of invited companies from among the most visionary names in contemporary dance. TheWAVE RISING SERIES, which started by presenting local companies, now features innovative dancemakers from around the world. Roslyn Sulcas of the New York Times wrote in 2008, “(The WAVE RISING SERIES)’s attempt to showcase a broad variety of work is admirable. Tickets are cheap and dancing plentiful; it’s a good mix. “
PREVIEW NIGHT: New for this year, Preview Night takes place each Wednesday of the Festival (Oct 17, Oct 24, Oct 31). The evening starts at 7:30pm with 10-minute-snippets of the featured companies for that week. By 9:00pm the party starts with great drinks & eats provided by local businesses, music, and a floor wide open for anything to happen!
