Six Degrees of Separation: Creating in Collaboration

05/12/2024 at 7:00pm and 05/13/2024 at 7:00pm

Embodying the theory that all people are connected through a social network of six or fewer degrees, Six Degrees of Separation is an annual showcase that brings together artists from NYC and beyond, presenting work around a common theme. Although connected to one another by one degree of separation, many participating artists have never met or worked together. Designed to engage new audiences and promote professional connections within the dance community, SDS provides a space for artists to create and workshop material while sharing resources and expenses.

For our ninth season, SDS is focusing on creative collaboration, featuring 6 pairs of artists who choreograph in tandem. Participating choreographers include: SarAika movement collective (Sara Pizzi and Aika Takeshima) NewBrese Dance (Rachel Calabrese and Sawyer Newsome) Wild.Mess (Catherine Messina and Emmy Wildermuth) Joseph Heitman (One Day Dance) with Cecly Placenti (Six Degrees Dance) and Kristen Klein (Inclined Dance Project.)

*Please note that this performance will be presented at the Tank's in-person performance space at 312 W 36th St. All attendees and artists will be required to have a covid vaccination before being admitted to the space. Patrons will also be required to wear masks, when not eating or drinking.
