UPSTART Festival

For BAX's 20th Birthday Season, alumni, faculty, current and former resident artists provide a striking curatorial dynamism. They have pulled from their experiences and interests at and beyond BAX. As a group they represent BAX's past, present and future.

Welcome a new group of dancers and choreographers into New York City's dance community with this two-day showcase curated by renowned choreographer Shannon Hummel, founder/director of Cora Dance and Marya Warshaw, Founding and Executive Director of BAX/Brooklyn Arts Exchange.

We usher in freshly arrived talent through our red doors with an intriguing festival of performances and roundtable discussions. Artists have no more than three years of experience showing choreography in the city. They benefit from professional experiences to develop artistic growth and to integrate them into the community.
