Harkness Space Grant Program

Subsidized rehearsal space is given at $10 per hour to accepted choreographers for the creation of new work. Choreographers accepted into the Space Grant Program will be in touch with Harkness Dance Center Assistant Director Edward Henkel regarding the availability and scheduling of rehearsal space. The amount of space allotted to each choreographer is determined by the availability of studio space. Those awarded a Space Grant for the full or partial creation of a new work must acknowledge this grant in programs every time the piece is performed as follows: "This work is made possible in part by a Harkness Space Grant from the 92nd Street Y Harkness Dance Center." Space Grant artists are encouraged to submit the work they create at 92nd Street Y for either our Fridays at Noon or Sundays at Three performance series. These performances are recorded on video by our staff for our archival documentation.
