For more than 3 decades, the New York Dance Festival has presented International Stage, an invitation-only, curated, sharing of choreography and culture through dance. In 2019 due to COVID, the special concert was moved online, allowing for a greater reach of difference and expressions of dance to be shared.

This International Stage Concert will present work from international guests from The United States, Brazil, Canada, Belgium and more!

History is written by the people with the pen. More accurately, Black creators were killed for even wishing to write, which led to great gaps in the lexicon of inclusive dance representation. The New York Dance Festival’s International Stage is one opportunity to correct contemporary omissions, and perhaps create a pathway for Black and Cultural choreographic works to take their rightful place alongside the greatest dance works known to date. International Stage is a multicultural curation where these great works can be shared together.
