This summer marks the 4th season of the Solar-Powered Dance Series in Stuyvesant Cove Park. This free event will span two weekends, (July 24th - 26th & July 31st – Aug 2nd) and will feature new works from thirteen emerging choreographers. The outdoor Solar 1 performance stage is located at the northern edge of Stuyvesant Cove at E. 23rd and the East River, adjacent to its green energy arts & education center.

The Solar-Powered Dance Series will feature programs by choreographers from an eclectic mix of emerging dance companies that work in a variety of styles, ranging from circus to post-modern to urban contemporary. This juried selection features dance that is theatrical, energetic and suitable for all ages.

Program A (July 24th – 26th) features:
Sara Joel, Daniela Hoff Dance Company, Sarah Council Dance Projects, Jamal Jackson Dance Company, alexanDance, the Tattooed Ballerinas

Program B (July 31st – August 2nd) features:
Paradizo Dance, Kirstin Kapustik, RETTOCAMME, RedWall Dance Theatre, Alexandra Joye Houston, Jamie Chandler

Plus: a special performance by Julie Troost (Program A)

Over the past few seasons, Solar 1 has steadily worked to establish Stuyvesant Cove as a creative center for green performance in New York. With the Solar-Powered Dance Series, solar electricity generated onsite at Solar 1 powers the audio components of the programs. Our recycled stage, located at the water’s edge, provides the perfect setting for these early evening performances
