Choreographers will be notified May 2019 if work is chosen.
As a part of the festival you will be provide with 1-2 performances in NYC and/ or in Texas. Both performances will offer a state of the art theater, professional lighting, and publicity.
Choreographers participating in the Houston Metro area will be provided the opportunity to teach a master class at Sam Houston University as a part of the festival. These classes will be compensated. A panel of judges will select 6-8 artists based on their work experience to teach these classes.
Select choreographers participating in the NYC festival will be given the opportunity to teach master classes as well. These classes will be compensated. Artists will be selected based on their work experience and class descriptions.
If you are considered for Level UP, you will be contacted by the Artistic Director and a meeting will be set up to discuss details.
**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.
