This year’s Festival presents 113 companies with 400 performing artists from throughout the United States, Canada, Japan and Korea. The 2011 DUMBO DANCE FESTIVAL runs in tandem with the DUMBO Arts Festival, which transforms our distinctive waterfront neighborhood into the single largest urban forum for experimental art in the United States. The 2011 DUMBO DANCE FESTIVAL will include a series of SITE-SPECIFIC works along the DUMBO waterfront. Designed to be interdisciplinary, these pieces are collaborations between choreographers, composers, live musicians, film and video artists and fashion/costume designers.
