Submit Your Work to the 2012 Festival
The Perceptions Dance Festival provides dance-based artists (emerging and established) with the opportunity to be presented in New York City. The festival is designed to support choreographers and companies around the country and internationally, providing the necessary technical aspects of staging professional work with minimal costs incurred. This festival provides artists with a state-of-the-art theater, expert technical crew, promotion and exposure in the New York City area, while creating the opportunity for growth and development by allowing each artist to focus solely on their art. Each night, the performance will be followed by a networking reception where artists can continue to build their networks with other artists, press and industry professionals.
Participants are encouraged to market themselves in addition to Festival marketing, and invite presenters & press that interest them. Participants are also encouraged to partake in the networking reception, and invite colleagues and industry professionals to build relationships.
With generous support, the 2012 Festival fees have been lowered to include a broader range of artists and build accessibility!
