Dance Festival In Chelsea Brings Together Women Choreographers

CHELSEA, NY — A dance festival will kick off in Chelsea on Tuesday, bringing together women choreographers from a variety of dance companies.

Jennifer Muller/The Works (JMTW) has been curating this festival for seven years to bring together a host of female choreographers in New York City.

This year JMTW brings seven female choreographers at New York Live Arts beginning Tuesday, June 11. The program runs through June 16.

The festival — called WOMEN / CREATE! - A Festival of Dance — will include performances from Armitage Gone! Dance, Buglisi Dance Theatre, Carolyn Dorfman Dance, The Francesca Harper Project, Jennifer Muller/The Works, Katarzyna Skarpetowska ft. Richmond Ballet, and Helen Simoneau Danse.

A total of 49 dancers will perform for the festival, located at New York Live Arts, 219 W. 19th St. between Seventh and Eighth avenues.

The festival is "an opportunity to witness companies of expertise and impact — choreographers, each with a powerful original voice who create work from unique points of view, yet share a sensibility that combines virtuosic movement with an expressive edge that moves minds and hearts – work that dances full out yet speaks of both individual experiences and shared humanity," Muller said in a statement.

Tickets run from $15 to $45.
