2019 SoloDuo Dance Festival

WHITE WAVE will present our 2019 SoloDuo Dance Festival with 29 participating choreographers/companies in 3 different programs. As in past years, performing artists hail from Europe, East Asia, metro NY, and across the US.

To celebrate the distinct art of the solo and duet, while creating additional opportunities to display the latest work of both emerging and mid-career choreographers, WHITE WAVE's 2019 SoloDuo Dance Festival will be held at Dixon Place, a setting nestled in the heart of the Downtown scene. This space inspires performing artists of all stripes and callings to stretch the limits of their creativity and take it to new heights.

WHITE WAVE’s Artistic Director Young Soon Kim founded the SoloDuo Dance Festival in 2016. Our program celebrates the unique art of the solo and duet with an eye towards creating new opportunities for both fledging and more experienced choreographers at Dixon Place, a setting nestled in the heart of the Downtown scene, located at the junction of the Lower East Side and East Village. This space inspires and encourages performing artists of all stripes and callings to stretch the limits of their creativity to new heights. Dixon Place’s foremost priorities are to serve as a safety net for artists, and to provide vivid experiences for audiences, making it a one-of-a kind venue to showcase an intimate solo or duet.
