NJ Dance Theatre Ensemble Receives Investors Foundation Grant To Support Inkubate(R) Outdoor Performance Series

(SUMMIT, NJ) -- New Jersey Dance Theatre Ensemble (NJDTE) has received a grant from The Investors Foundation to support this summer’s 2017 INKUBATE® Dance Festival, presented in collaboration with Reeves-Reed Arboretum in Summit, NJ.

“We are honored and grateful for the support of the Investors Foundation, as we realize our vision of making INKUBATE® a renowned summer dance festival and to establish Summit as a destination for dance and culture in the region,” NJDTE Artistic Director Nancy Turano said.

Since 2015, INKUBATE® has provided choreographic residencies for contemporary dance artists at NJDTE’s state-of-the-art, 8,800 square foot facility in downtown Summit that culminate in outdoor performances at nearby Reeves-Reed Arboretum. During their NJDTE residencies, the curated dance artists and choreographers investigate movement in a think-tank that enables them to grow their ideas into a body of work. In turn, these artists give back by choreographing and/or performing at one of the site-specific INKUBATE® dance events.

INKUBATE® artists have included master choreographer and legendary Alvin Ailey dancer Elizabeth Roxas-Dobrish and Shannon Gillen, Artistic Director of V/M V/GOR dance company in NYC. In 2016, over 650 nature and arts enthusiasts immersed themselves in the INKUBATE® performance experience that Dance New Jersey called “an exhilarating and enchanting evening of dance.”

The Investors Foundation gift will help NJDTE to bring in master artists for the 2017 INKUBATE® Festival, including NJDTE alumni Samuel Asher Kunzman and Magdalyn Segale, and contemporary choreographers Adam Barruch and Patrick Coker.

The 2017 INKUBATE® performances will be held on Wednesday evenings at 6pm this summer at Reeves-Reed Arboretum on June 21, July 12, and August 2. Tickets are free for Arboretum members, $10 for non-members, and $5 for students.

Since its inception in 1969, NJDTE has maintained a successful dance curriculum with an unparalleled outcome of artistic excellence. NJDTE provides mentorship programs and access to master artists and choreographers as role models, providing a network for its dancers to succeed as performing artists in higher education and as professionals in the field.
