The 92nd Street Y, New York announces 21 finalists for Future Dance Festival '23. Created by Harkness Dance Center director Taryn Kaschock Russell, the Future Dance Festival is an annual open submission choreographic competition which aims to provide opportunities and connections which advance the next generation of creative voices. Virtual-Only Program Streams Free from Friday, Mar 31, 12 pm – Monday, April 3 at https://www.92ny.org/event/virtual-future-dance-festival. In-Person Performances at The 92nd Street Y as part of the Harkness Studio Series in the newly renovated Buttenwieser Hall, Friday, April 14, and Saturday, April 15 at 7:30 pm. Tickets from $20 at 92NY.org/FutureDanceFestival. Conceived as a virtual showcase when 92NY's building was closed due to the pandemic – with the goal of building a bridge to the current generation of directors and industry leaders – 2023's festival will be both virtual and in person on the stage of the newly renovated Buttenwieser Hall as part of the new Harkness Studio series. The Future Dance Festival's mission to provide greater visibility, platform and support for new choreographic talent is evidenced in this season's performance schedule which features two finalists from the inaugural Future Dance Festival – Barkha Patel in May and Annie Rigney in June. Finalists Music From the Sole and MeenMoves are current Harkness Dance Center Artists in Residence. "It feels almost more important now than it did during the pandemic to continue the work of investing in developing networks which support our future generation of creative voices," comments Russell. "Now is the moment to commit, as a community, to providing continual opportunities to offer and spotlight diverse stories and introduce new audiences to new physical narratives. The Future Dance Festival's mission, from its inception, was to move the needle forward for the next generation, and we are even more committed to furthering that mission today."
