Despite the June gloom, Summer is most definitely here and that means preparations for this year's festival have begun!
Well, to be honest, we started preparing all the way back in January when we sent out a call for applications. We then had the pleasure of reviewing over 90 unique and talented submissions which arrived by mail until the deadline on March 27th.
Our talented panel of judges convened and reviewed each submission, finally narrowing it down to a diverse roster of companies with a varied range of styles. Some of this year's participants include:
c3 Tap Cooperative
Jamal Jackson Dance Company
Dance China NY
Vissi Dance Theater
The Chase Brock Experience
Dr. Janaki Rangarajan
Rebecca Kelly Ballet
Naomi Goldberg Haas/Dances for a Variable Population
Figures in Flight
...and several more to be announced!
Keep watching this site for more updates on our progress. If you're interested in volunteering for our festival, please contact our festival intern, Soni, at intern@batterydance.org.
