Returning for a second year! St. Louis Contemporary Dance Festival is an annual event hosted by RESILIENCE Dance Company connecting contemporary dance-makers across the country for performance, exchange, and dialogue.

 

Through a formal application and adjudication process, RESILIENCE will select a mix of local, regional and national artists to participate in the curated festival.

 

This festival is aimed at the risk-takers in dance: does your work experiment, genre bend, break rules, try something new, challenge a norm, evolve from a unique process, respond to a contemporary issue, or more? If so, we invite you to apply!
