$40 to apply with one work, $65 to apply with up to 3 works

FINAL Deadline - March 31, 2019

$50 to apply with one work, $75 to apply with up to 3 works

Applications must be received by March 31st to be considered for the 2019 Festival. 

This year’s festival will include the Main Event performances and Level UP, a commissioned evening for three artists.

The Festival offers performances in New York City at the Ailey Citigroup Theater and in Huntsville, Texas at the James & Nancy Gaertner Performing Arts Center at Sam Houston State University. This is an exciting opportunity for choreographers to present larger and smaller works in a fully produced dance festival, teach master classes, and be considered for future residencies.

As a part of our continued mission to find up-and-coming choreographic talent at the international level, the Dance Gallery Festival is proud to continue our Level UP program. Level UP serves as a performance showcase for three talented choreographers that are ready to advance to the next level in the development and promotion of their work. Each company will receive 25 minutes of performance time in the Level UP concert, a commission fee, and one artist is invited to a residency in the Catskills. 

This year we have opened the Catskill residency up to applications, so take a look and apply if you are interested in making a work to premiere at the Festival. 

Festival Dates: September 27-29 2019 in NYC, and October 3-5 2019 in TX
