about the Festival
The Perceptions Contemporary Dance Festival provides artists (emerging and established) with the opportunity to present dance in New York City. The festival is designed to support choreographers and companies around the country and internationally, providing the necessary technical aspects of staging professional work with minimal costs incurred. This festival provides artists with a state-of-the-art theater, expert technical crew, ticket sales, promotion and exposure in the New York City area, while creating the opportunity for growth and development by allowing each artist to focus solely on their art.
The innaugural festival was produced and directed by Melissa Gendreau. It was held in 2010 at the Manhattan Movement & Arts Center on Saturday September 18th. The one night festival featured works by 10 artists/companies including work by Perceptions Contemporary Dance Company, and was followed by a complimentary wine and hors d'ouvres reception in the lobby.
Melissa's goal for the Festival is to create more opportunity for artists to have their work produced in the most professional manner, creating more opportunity for growth and publicity. This Festival is designed to give artists several ways to be presented - through live performance in the dance capitol of the country, professional quality video for distribution and preservation, as well as marketing, advertisement and press.
