92Y announces 21 finalists for the 2022 Future Dance Festival. Created by Harkness Dance Center director Taryn Kaschock Russell, the Future Dance Festival is a choreographic competition aiming to give new creators an opportunity to showcase their work. Conceived as a virtual showcase in 2021 when 92Y’s building was closed due to the pandemic, this year’s festival includes two virtual-only programs and an in-person program on the stage of Kaufmann Concert Hall as part of the Harkness Dance Center’s 2021-22 Mainstage Series. Each program includes seven works , with panelists Kyle Abraham, Janet Eilber, Jennifer Stahl, Jessica Tong, Michelle Manzanales, Melanie Person and Duke Dang choosing three finalists apiece.
