ABOUT
UPTOWN
RISING
Designed with the choreographer in mind,
Uptown Rising provides choreographers the space and opportunity to premiere new ideas and revisit previous works in an intimate setting.
Our shows are hosted in our large studio-turned-black box space. Additionally, each audience member can share written feedback after each piece, which we send to the choreographers post-performance. The evening closes with a moderated Q&A with all the choreographers and a brief post-performance reception.
About the UR Artist in Residence Program:
Established in 2023, the Uptown Rising Artist in Residence Program provides NYC-based companies the opportunity to create and present their artistry without the burden and costs of studio space. Residency recipients will receive a space grant courtesy of the Bridge for Dance to create and premiere new work. The creation process will culminate in two complementary performances held at the Bridge for Dance studio-black box theatre!
