DANCE LAB

Choreography

SYMPOSIUM

For Community Building

“Dance Lab is one of the very few artistic institutions in New York that's offering genuine opportunity because it's not stemming from product, stemming from offering, and it's stemming from opportunity.”

"Dance Lab New York is a gift. It's a gift to choreographers. It's a gift to create. There's nothing like it — where you are given a beautiful space and exceptional dancers to create anything you want."

“Dance Lab New York is the opportunity for creation, for development, and for artists to meet like-minded artists and to make something fresh and brand new.”

A Forum for Choreographers

A dynamic gathering for movement-makers and creative leaders. Engage in conversations on the evolving professional landscape, explore ways to build sustainable creative careers, and engage with one another in an environment of mutual connection and understanding.

Dates: 2027 dates to be announced.

Location: Dance Lab Studios (307 W 38th Street, 9th Floor)
