**Your work will be considered for all of our festival performances unless you specify otherwise. If you are selected to participate in the festival the directors will let you know for what event your work has been chosen.**
Residency
Two years ago the Dance Gallery Festival partnered with the Catskills Art Society (CAS) to offer two choreographers a three-day residency in the picturesque mountains of the Catskills, New York. The residency takes place in and around the CAS art galleries of Livingston Manor, New York, about 100 miles north of Manhattan. The selected artists work in open rehearsals, teach community classes, and the residency culminates with a free performance at the Beaverkill Valley Inn. The finished works are later performed during the festival in NYC.
​
This year we are opening this residency program to submissions. Interested artists should submit a proposal for a new work to premiere at the Festival in NYC this fall. The work should not exceed 15 min in length. The two selected artists can each bring up to 2 dancers to the residency.
