The Hollows is a live/work/exhibit space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY producing exhibitions and various programming series with a curatorial emphasis on audience engagement and a dedication to novel ways of exhibition making. 

The Hollows is excited to announce the launch of The Hollows Eastyard Dance Festival taking place indoors and outdoors in the 5-floor townhouse one block away from the L train on Bedford Ave. The two day festival will feature over 20 performances by emerging and established choreographers. 

Seeking original dance works between 10-20 minutes long and dance films from 5-20 minutes long to be presented as part of the festival. All performance spaces are non-traditional and include the Eastyard outdoor space, the Performance Studio, as well as rooms throughout the 5-floor Hollows townhouse. We are also seeking pieces of any duration to be considered for site-specific presentation in other areas of the townhouse including bathrooms, stairwells, front porch and the telephone booth.
