New commissions from the Pasculano Collaborative and two premieres anchor a major showcase for local dance makers.
The Lincoln Center Contemporary Dance Festival is preparing to make its return this coming January, placing a dedicated spotlight on New York City-based choreographers who are actively developing and staging boundary-pushing performance works. The upcoming festival engagement highlights the vitality of the local dance community, offering contemporary makers a major venue to premiere daring movement pieces and share fresh choreographic ideas before live audiences.
At the core of the festival’s programming are two New York premieres alongside two brand-new commissions awarded by the Pasculano Collaborative for Contemporary Dance. These commissions provide essential support for choreographers navigating the demanding process of developing new work, granting artists the backing needed to turn creative concepts into fully staged performances. By centering New York City-based artists and investing in newly commissioned material, the festival directly champions the craft, physical experimentation, and dedicated labor behind contemporary dance.
The creative energy extends across the theatre and performance disciplines with the concurrent return of Under the Radar at Lincoln Center this January. Under the Radar will showcase a signature lineup featuring more than 25 new theatrical productions presented across various sites throughout the city as well as at Lincoln Center itself.
Together, the contemporary dance festival and Under the Radar create a citywide platform for innovative performance, connecting independent theatre and dance makers with audiences across New York. With two New York premieres, two dedicated commissions from the Pasculano Collaborative for Contemporary Dance, and a slate of over 25 new stage productions, the coming season celebrates the vital work of contemporary artists pushing artistic boundaries on stage.
New commissions and festival premieres provide vital resources and visibility for contemporary choreographers pushing artistic boundaries. Platforms like the Lincoln Center Contemporary Dance Festival and Under the Radar sustain working artists by bringing new choreography and experimental theatre directly to major urban audiences.
