The Bridge for Dance Inc Presents: The Uptown Rising Performance Series

The Bridge for Dance Uptown Rising Performance Series is now accepting choreographer applications for their Fall 2019 Season!

About Uptown Rising:

Designed with the choreographer in mind, the Uptown Rising Performance Series strives to create affordable programs, workshops and performance opportunities that connect artists to the space, their art, and to the growing community at the Bridge.

Performances are held in our large studio turned black box theatre, providing the opportunity to explore new ideas, revisit works in progress, and build on the creative process; all within the comfort of an intimate setting!

Choreographers will receive written feedback submitted by the audience and gain access to half-priced space throughout their process. The audience will vote for their favorite piece from each night; following the performance will we host a Q&A session and networking reception, allowing artists the space to discuss their work and process!
