Battery Dance is now accepting applications for the 42nd Annual Battery Dance Festival, with free performances on August 12-19, 2023 at Rockefeller Park, NYC. Applications must be submitted online at https://batterydance.org/apply/.
Application Details:
Both individual artists and collectives are welcome to apply; you do not need to be a formal organization to be considered.
Each artist/company can submit only one application.
Companies that have performed in the two (2) consecutive prior Festivals (both 2021 and 2022) will not be eligible to participate this year (2023). They will regain their eligibility to apply for next year (2024).
Duration of group works (2 or more dancers) should be between 10-20 minutes. Duration of solo works should be between 4-10 minutes. In selecting a work for consideration, please be mindful of the outdoor performance venue with minimal supplemental lighting and an audience generally not on risers. While there is side lighting, there is no overhead lighting.
If a work exists only in-progress, please send a rehearsal video of the required length with sufficient supplemental information with which to be fairly considered. World Premiere performances and NYC debuts/premieres are welcomed and encouraged. If you are applying with a work-in-progress submission and are accepted into the Festival, you will be asked to provide a video of the completed work before final approval.
Submissions will be reviewed by the Festival Manager to insure their completion and suitability according to the guidelines below, and then scored separately by an independent curation panel.
A modest honorarium will be provided to festival participants.
For artists/companies from India or the Indian Diaspora: The all-Indian Dance Program (August 15 - India Independence Day) will be curated separately. No application is necessary.
