About this Event
RAWdance's celebrated CONCEPT series salon returns to the Hudson Valley this June at the Senate Garage in Kingston's Stockade District. Founded in 2007 in San Francisco, and a mainstay of the Bay Area's performing arts calendar, the series will serve a fresh dose of dance in the chic event space, all with a welcoming, living room vibe, complete with popcorn. Hudson Valley-based dance artists share works-in-progress and revamped repertory for intimate viewing.
Artist line-up coming soon!
For the CONCEPT series, choreographers are encouraged to share work at any point of creation, offering new perspectives into the artistic process. RAWdance’s Co-Artistic Directors Wendy Rein and Ryan T. Smith act as hosts between performances, serving trays of popcorn, sweet snacks, and a healthy dose of banter to complete the experience.
Online advance ticket purchases are recommended. Tickets will also available at the door. The CONCEPT series is a Pay-What-You-Can event. There's a $5 minimum to accommodate online ticketing, but if ticket fees are prohibitive for any reason, or if you would like to contribute an amount not listed, please email [email protected] and we will be happy to arrange a reservation for you.
“Contemporary dance as a chummy, pretension-free meet-up? That’s the winning concept behind RAWdance’s CONCEPT series, ...where new dances are served up alongside generous helpings of popcorn, cookies and coffee. Every iteration brings a unique mix of ideas and dance styles, but it’s always a low-key, highly entertaining event with effervescent emceeing by RAWdance founders Ryan Smith and Wendy Rein." — San Francisco Chronicle
"Buffets, sampler platters, tasting menus – all offer the chance to try an assortment of flavors. But if it’s an artistic experience you crave rather than culinary (though this particular event also includes some delicious food), RAWdance’s CONCEPT series, with its array of choreographic styles and textures, is for you." — Dance Tabs
Please note: Online ticket sales will end at 9am on the day of each performance. Additional tickets will be available at the door.
