Calling Choreographers! Applications for WestFest Dance Festival's ALL OVER WESTBETH program are now open! Application Deadline: December 31, 2025. *Apply by Nov 22 for an early submission discount*

WestFest: All Over Westbeth is a site-specific program showing a variety of unconventional and unique approaches to dance and space within the historic Westbeth Artists Residence buildings. Each artist will be assigned a unique space in and around the Westbeth building in which they will have the opportunity to rehearse and build a dance. We ask that artists create a short (4-5 minute) piece that can be performed 5-6 times in succession during a 3-hour performance period for groups of audiences touring the sites.

The curation panel will be looking for a diverse group of emerging & mid-career dance artists with a strong vision and high-performance quality. Strong preference will be given to artists based in the New York metropolitan area. 

SELECTED ARTISTS FOR ALL OVER WILL RECEIVE:

-FREE production costs

-Professionally captured and edited photos

-Performance video

-Dedicated social media post and promotions on all WestFest platforms

-$250 performance stipend in appreciation of your work
