DISCOVERING THE NEXT ARTISTIC CRUSH

Now entering its fifth year, DanceNOW Raw is bigger, broader, and more diverse than ever. Drawing on choreographic talent from all five boroughs of New York City, and in partnership with a broad consortia including New York University and the Gibney Dance Center, RAW provides emerging artists with a platform to show new work to enthusiastic audiences. Five years after the start of the program, fully 30% of the hundreds of artists presented in DanceNOW’s mainstage productions got their start through Raw, a testament to the program's success in locating, cultivating, and promoting emerging talent. DanceNOW has also incorporated a substantial mentorship component to the program, granting participating artists access to a rich community of dramaturges, producers, press and other artists, and ensuring the continuation and improvement of their work over time. Some recent artists to graduate from Raw to our mainstage programming includes Mana Kawamura, Jamal Jackson, Khaleah London, Iain Rowe, Luke Murphy, Loni Landon, Marjani Forte, Yin Yue, SNIC, Benjamin Kimitch, and Adam Barruch, among many illustrious others. 

The 2012 DANCENOW RAW studio show is being held at New York University’s Tisch Dance Department on Saturday, April 14th. As part of DANCENOW’s ongoing commitment to artist mentorship, emerging artists can be paired with each other and other individuals in the DANCENOW family to generate meaningful professional relationships within the dance community. Additionally, Producer Sydney Skybetter will facilitate a post-show discussion with the artists and audiences to discuss current issues facing emerging artists in New York City and beyond.

To apply, go to DANCENOW’s NYCharities Page and make a $12.00 payment for each piece you want to submit an application for.
