JOE'S PUB

The DANCE NOW Joe’s Pub FESTIVAL asks festival participants to create a five-minute choreographic gem, specific to the space at Joe’s Pub.  The artist that best meets the DANCE NOW Challenge, and creates a concise, clear and complete artistic statement, in five minutes or less, receives a $1,500 development fee and a free week-long residency at the DANCE NOW Silo residency facility at Kirkland Farm in Pennsylvania.

The Festival will be September 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th, 2020.  

RAW

DANCE NOW RAW provides emerging artists with a platform to show new work and get feedback from artists and curators in our field. One third of the hundreds of artists presented in DANCE NOW mainstage productions got their start through RAW, a testament to the program's success in locating, cultivating, and promoting emerging talent. Some recent artists to graduate from RAW to mainstage programming include Brendan Drake, Jamal Jackson, Khaleah London, Iain Rowe, Luke Murphy, Loni Landon, Marjani Forte, Yin Yue, SNIC, Benjamin Kimitch, Adam Barruch, MadBOOTS and Sara du Jour, among illustrious others. Artists that present at RAW may also receive opportunities to perform with our partners at Arts on Site.

RAW will be on April 9th 2020 at Joe's Pub at The Public to a closed, invite-only, audience.
