WestFest: All Over Westbeth is a site-specific program showing a variety of unconventional and unique approaches to dance and space within the historic Westbeth Artists Residence buildings. Each artist will be assigned a unique space in and around the Westbeth building in which they will have the opportunity to rehearse and build a dance. We ask that artists create a short (4-5 minute) piece that can be performed 5-6 times in succession during a 3-hour performance period for groups of audiences touring the sites.

The curation panel will be looking for a diverse group of dance artists with a strong vision and high-performance quality. Strong preference will be given to artists based in the New York metropolitan area.

SELECTED TOP FLOOR ARTISTS WILL RECEIVE:​

• FREE production costs
• Professionally captured and edited photos
• Performance video
• Dedicated social media post and promotions on all WestFest platforms
• $250 performance stipend in appreciation of your work 

Early Bird Deadline: December 1, 2026
