Announcing Virtual Boston Contemporary Dance Festival on August 15th! Founded in 2012 by Betsi Graves, BCDF celebrates contemporary dance artists from across the United States. Although the festival is usually held in person, it will transition to a virtual event this year for the safety of the community. This year's festival will include two evening showcases featuring both local and global work along with classes and community panels during the day. 

The first show “On Stage” (6PM EST) will feature work performed and filmed on a proscenium stage and the second show “On Film” (8PM EST) will feature new works choreographed, performed, and filmed in non-traditional spaces during COVID-19 isolation. Both shows will feature local and national work. 

The application is two parts - an "Intent to Apply" and the video submission. Applications will be closed after 200 Intent to Apply forms have been received for each showcase. There is no application fee. Applications will be reviewed and selected by a panel of a number of established dance leaders from across the United States.
