I.
From November 15th - 19th (2017) we are hosting the Sans Limites Movement Festival at the Hudson Guild Theater in Chelsea, NYC.

*THE HUDSON GUILD THEATER is a 100-seat, Proscenium Arch Theater; with a stage opening of 27’ 6” wide by 11’10” high and a depth 29’ at centerline. Stage height upstage of proscenium is approximately 17 feet from deck to grid. Floor is painted (black) masonite on top of wood.*

 

Inspired by the Duncan quote, “You were once wild here, don’t let them tame you”, this performance will showcase innovative, rebellious, and non-conformist movement works -- expanding the minds of New York City audiences-- by choreographers/movement directors that are contributing to the ever-evolving art form of Modern Dance. SANS LIMITES Movement Fest will feature the choreography of emerging dance companies and movement artists. Production priority goes to proposals that highlight present-day themes, culture and events through unique choreographic visions -- ranging from highly technical/athletic to works daring in their simplicity. 

At a nominal cost, artists will be provided a professional stage management & technical/light design team -- led by Co - Producer & Technical Director Michael Lounsbery. He is a professional light designer who has worked with artists and cultural institutions including Dance Theatre of Harlem, Andre Kisselev (Bolshoi Theater), Kazuko Hirabayashi, Earl Mosley, Ara Fitzgerald, Peter Pucci (Pilobolus), Rosalind Newman, Keith Sanders, Neta Pulvermacher, Bill Hastings, Rebecca Sten, Lance Westergard, Claire Porter, Nick Ross, Valerie Pullman, Wallie Wolfgruber, Valerie Pullman and Keely Garfield.
