The Show

Sightlines is a new dance residency and performance program featuring four new works by a group of choreographers sharing their work in conversation with each other.  Presented at Coffey Street Studio, a 19th-century warehouse in Red Hook, the artists will have three weeks to develop their pieces within this unique space. The festival will culminate in a rotating series of split bills May 18-25, so no two evenings are the same. We hope this curatorial collage will provide a new perspective on each piece, informing both our own creative process and the audience experience. The choreographers will also share their research and practice through free open classes.
