Beta Dance Festival
Phoenix Center for the Arts, in partnership with nueBOX, presents the third annual beta: an evening of new and exciting dance choreography, Sat., June 11, 2016. The evening will feature innovative and captivating dance works submitted by local dance artists and companies.
Beta seeks to introduce dance supporters in the Phoenix area to new artistic voices of movement in an effort to grow and cultivate the Phoenix dance scene. The event highlights up-and-coming dance artists and provides a unique platform to showcase their work.
Event director Michaela Konzal remarks, “Each year we try to push the envelope further. For the third annual beta, Phoenix Center for the Arts has partnered with nueBOX to offer residencies to selected choreographers. Selected residents will be able to create new dance works or further explore existing pieces.”
“I appreciate that the Beta festival allows for works in progress to be showcased alongside established and completed work,” says Crystal Lewis, beta 2014 and 2015 choreographer. “I think it’s great that it creates another opportunity for local artists to get their work seen, which is always important because it helps to further strengthen the Arizona dance community.”
Last year’s festival showcased the works of Angela Rosenkrans, Chelsea Neiss, Crystal Lewis, Diane McNeal Hunt, Elisa Cavallero, Gina Jurek, Grace Gallagher, Jasmine Stack, Katy Callie, Leanne Schmidt & Company, The Parking Lot Project, Shauna Meredith and Travis Richardson.
