"90 years ago, 92NY welcomed and supported artists who had yet to be discovered and whose names were once unknown: Doris Humphrey, Martha Graham, José Limón, Alvin Ailey, Paul Taylor, and the list goes on. I am elated to bring back The Future Dance Festival, this year with a brand-new dance film component, representing what we've always believed in at this organization: that artists who have yet to find a platform to share their work may just be the next great artists in the field of dance," comments Alison Manning, Co-Executive Director, Harkness Dance Center. "As we celebrate the 90th Anniversary of the Harkness Dance Center, we're proud to showcase 23 talented emerging artists whose work represents the next generation of innovation in dance and dance filmmaking. This festival serves to offer them a valuable platform to connect with the broader dance field and uplift their unique artistic voices."
