Providing opportunities for international programmers to encounter American dance.

American Dance Abroad periodically hosts American Dance Recon, an intensive symposium that brings international programmers to a U.S. city with a strong and vibrant dance scene. Programmers engage with the local community through attendance at performances, visits to company rehearsals, focus groups and discussions, and conversations with local dance leaders. Editions have been held in New York City in 2012-2016 and in San Francisco in 2013.

The next edition of ADR takes place in July 2017, with visits to Philadelphia, New York City, and Jacob’s Pillow/the Berkshires. Part of our program in Philadelphia will include A Showcase Highlighting Philadelphia Dance – an event that is open to the public. Purchase tickets. Another edition of ADR will take place in New York City in 2018.

American Dance Recon/Global provides opportunities for international programmers to see American dance that is already touring in their part of the world. This effort encourages increased interest in available American artists and further nurtures relationships among artists and programmers.

If you’re interested in participating, we look forward to hearing from you! Visit our contact page.
