Dance

The winter edition of the biannual Contemporary Dance Festival spotlights New York City choreographers who are redefining the form. Explore Netta Yerushalmy’s MOVEMENT, Heidi Latsky Dance’s Days of Awe, 2nd Best Dance Company’s Slumber, BOCA TUYA’s Sombreristas, TRIBE’s Marks of RED, and Juilliard Dance’s 75th Anniversary Celebration. Together, these works turn movement into a language of community, identity, and imagination.

Theater

Under the Radar at Lincoln Center returns with reality-defying theater-makers on the lineup; Wakka Wakka’s Dead as a Dodo blends puppetry and music for family-friendly theater; and La vie secrète des vieux (The Secret Life of Old People) presents a tender portrait of love and memory at every age.

"Our programs throw the doors wide open and ask each of us to step in not only as audience members, but as creators." – Shanta Thake

Explore the relationship between the arts and wellbeing at the Heartbeat Summit, celebrate with the whole family at Lunar New Year festivities, and discover world-class free performances, from flamenco and film to comedy and cabaret, at the David Rubenstein Atrium.
