The Upstart Festival — a shared endeavor between BAX and Shannon Hummel/Cora Dance — welcomes a new group of dancers and choreographers into New York City’s dance community. This two-day showcase will take place in the Theater @ BAX on Friday & Saturday December 14 & 15, 2012 and is curated by Cora Dance Artistic Director/Choreographer Shannon Hummel, and Founding and Executive Director of BAX/Brooklyn Arts Exchange, Marya Warshaw.

NEW THIS SEASON: Up to two choreographers will be chosen from those selected for the Upstart Festival showcase to receive 10 additional hours of free rehearsal space and two fully produced shared evenings of performances in the Spring of 2013 at the Cora Studio-Theater located at 201 Richards Street in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
