We are thrilled to support the return of the Romanian-born New York-based choreographer Ana Maria Lucaciu to the 40th edition of the spectacular Battery Dance Festival with a show entitled "It Goes by Quick”, which amply demonstrates her deft treatment of calculated gesture and rich physicality through a series of overlapping duets and ensemble choreography that reveals profound secrets of human interaction.
This is a free event. Join us in person at Robert F. Wagner Park – Battery Park City, NYC on August 20 @ 7 pm EST!
You can watch the show online HERE.

The free annual BATTERY DANCE FESTIVAL, formerly known as the Downtown Dance Festival, takes place outdoors at Robert F. Wagner Park, in front of the sparkling New York Harbor. Last year, the festival went fully virtual, but for its 40th edition this year it is offering both in-person and streaming options: three nights of virtual performances from around the world, followed by six nights of live performances that will also be live-streamed on YouTube. - Time Out New York
