This annual festival celebrates dance of the past, promotes dance of today and honors those making significant contributions to the field. This year, recognition goes to the choreographers Liz Lerman, known for her multi-generational work; Doug Varone, a long time staple of the New York dance scene; and Alice Teirstein, the founder of Young Dancemakers. Their work will be shown over four separate programs, accompanied by a number of other artists and companies, including work by Merce Cunningham.
