ADG is dedicated to presenting the range and diversity of expression in current dance art practice and how it interfaces with our historical modern dance roots.  This year we will be featuring work by dance legend, Jane Dudley, and celebrated choreographer Paul Sanasardo, mentor and teacher to Pina Bausch among many others.  Paul, now located in Chicago, will be here to attend the opening night reception.

We are very excited to be holding our festival at the beautiful Manhattan Movement Arts Theater (now under new management and technical direction!) located at 248 West 60th Street in New York City.  Five different programs will be presented during the festival on February 25-27, 2011.
 
If you applied in the past and were not accepted, PLEASE apply again!   Feel free to circulate this form.

Submissions will be adjudicated by an invited group of professionals in the field.
