Free Fridays in Bryant Park

June 5, 2014

One of the best parts about summer in NYC is the abundance of outdoor dance performances—especially when they’re free! Starting next week, Bryant Park Presents Modern Dance, in collaboration with the non-profit interdisciplinary arts space Inception to Exhibition, presents a series of performances over three consecutive Friday evenings. The shows, which feature an amalgam of well-established and emerging dance companies, all take place on the Bryant Park Stage. And if you’re in town on July 4th, don’t miss the Booking Dance Festival Edinburgh, a sneak-peek showcase of ten companies on their way to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland.
