WHITE WAVE Announces its 10th Anniversary WAVE RISING SERIES

The 92Y Harkness Dance Center and WHITE WAVE Dance are proud to present the 10th Anniversary Wave Rising Series at 92Y’s historic Buttenwieser Hall.

WHITE WAVE Dance, led by choreographer Young Soon Kim, curates its 10thAnniversary Wave Rising Series featuring 18 of today’s rising and eminent dancemakers from Canada, Poland, China and the across the USA. The Series provides a rare opportunity for choreographers, through an adjudication process by prominent figures from the dance community, to present their work to New York City’s vital dance audience.

This year, Young Soon Kim and WHITE WAVE Dance will be conducting two master classes during the festival at Peridance Capezio Center on June 21 & 23 at 4-6 pm.

In 2006, WAVE RISING SERIES started by presenting local companies, now features innovative dancemakers from around the world. The superb national and international companies are given 20 minutes each on a shared bill, performing twice over the course of the two weekend festival.

Channel 13 NYC ARTS paid homage to our WAVE RISING SERIES, highlighting it as a gathering of “innovative dancemakers from around the world,” and praised the SERIES for presenting “an eclectic range of dance companies who have been selected for their artistic growth or visionary independent productions.”

OPENING NIGHTS: Celebrating 10th Anniversary WRS Opening Night will be on June 17th and the evening starts at 8:30pm with La P en V Innovative Dance Platform (Hong Kong, China), RH+ (Renata Skobo, Hyun Kim) (Kraków, Poland), ZviDance, Flexicurve and WHITE WAVE Young Soon Kim Dance Company from New York.
