IDACO NYC 2018

N. C. (May 21, 2018)
From May 24 until May 27, the Italian dance festival is showcasing various performances celebrating culture, dance, and visual artistry, providing a platform for Italian dancers to connect with artists in New York City.

The IDACO—Italian DAnce COnnection— festival is May 24-27 at the Baruch Performing Arts Center. This showcase is a collaborative and international, contemporary dance event in its fourth year. IDACO creates an Italian themed, cross-cultural collaboration.

This year, more than 20 dance companies, artists, and filmmakers will be featured.  IDACO presents a wide variety of performances which all include a pre-show film by Parcon NYC and access to Gisella Sorrentino's slide-show and photo exhibit.  The theme for 2018 is intersection and junction focusing on dialogues between countries.  IDACO explains that it wants to “facilitate meeting, joining and crossing distances, creating a zone in between, a shared space for artists of diverse origins where they can have the opportunity to come closer to one another.”
