Supporting dance education and community
Each year we hold an annual festival in New York City with work by 30-40 choreographers from around the globe. At each festival we honor two master choreographers from the past and include performances of their work along with emerging choreographers ranging from modern to post-modern to performance art to cultural hybrids.
Some of our other activities include low-tech “bare bones” performances in New York City as well as in the surrounding area, a forum online for the exchange of ideas and information, and an opportunity each year to apply for a scholarship to Jacob’s Pillow.
American Dance Guild Performance Festival
2020 ADG Festival: 10 Years Over 10 Weeks
Reaching into its archival treasure trove of rarely seen recordings of past events, The American Dance Guild on October 12, will begin their virtual offering 10 Years Over 10 Weeks, a rich collection of video performances of honorees and guest artists over the last ten years of ADG Performance Festivals. The video stream, which will run for ten weeks, will feature works by more than 25 dance luminaries from ADG Festivals 2009-2019. Each of the Festival artists will appear sequentially by year, running for one week. The live festival has been postponed this year in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Bare Bones Showcase
ADG’s BARE BONES Choreography Showcase offers an informal works-in-process opportunity for choreographers to show new work in its early stages and to get feedback from the audience of friends and colleagues. The 2020 Showcase is a two-part virtual performance – an exhibit of dances that can be viewed at any time.
ADG/Jacob’s Pillow Scholarship
Young dancers are encouraged to apply for our annual scholarship to the renowned summer dance school at Jacob’s Pillow in Becket, Mass. This is a great annual opportunity for young dancers provided by the board of the American Dance Guild in collaboration with Jacobs Pillow. It was formerly known as the Erna Lindner-Gilbert Scholarship, and the Fannie Weiss scholarship, in honor of the women members who founded the scholarship.
