Introducing...
St. Louis Contemporary Dance Festival
An exciting new event hosted by RESILIENCE Dance Company at Intersect Arts Center in St. Louis, MO on June 15th, 2024.
This one-day event will include dance jams, classes, and resource sharing throughout the day, culminating in an evening performance, post show talk balk, and networking reception. St. Louis Contemporary Dance Festival will foster artistic dialogue, connect artists throughout the country, and provide a platform to support groundbreaking contemporary dance-making.
Through a formal application and adjudication process, RESILIENCE will select 8-10 choreographers - a mix of local, regional and national artists - to participate in the curated festival.
We are looking for participants who have powerful choreographic voices, embody diverse perspectives, and who are pushing the boundaries of contemporary dance.
