The small stage at Joe’s Pub amplifies the bite-size choreographic gems from 40 of New York City’s most innovative dance makers.

Presenter DanceNOW NYC has challenged all festival participants to create a piece of five minutes that conveys a clear, complete and concise artistic statement.

The artist whose work best meets this DanceNOW challenge will receive a $1,000 creative development award, a free weeklong creative residency at Silo on Kirkland Farm in Pennsylvania, and a 20-hour space grant from the Gibney Dance Center. Each evening, one additional artist will be selected by the audience attending that program to receive a weeklong development residency at Silo.
