The Perceptions Contemporary Dance Festival provides artists (emerging and established) working in the contemporary/modern dance field with the opportunity to be presented in the New York City area. 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.
