In 2018, ADI will open a new facility in Catskill, NY specially created to support late-stage development of new work. ADI/Catskill will house the Incubator – a production residency program that helps new contemporary dance and performance work become premiere-ready by providing extended tech time for artists and their collaborators and presenting public premieres and work-in-progress showings. Si
nce its creation in 2011, the Incubator has helped strengthen premieres of 19 new works and has seen increasing demand from artists seeking vital late-stage support and audiences hungry for new work. Renovations to a former lumberyard on the Catskill Creek will create a 5,000 square foot state-of-the-art black box theater, artist housing, and community courtyard specially designed to serve the development of new work and build new audiences for contemporary dance. Further renovations to ADI’s waterfront properties will create vibrant community spaces and help enliven historic downtown Catskill.
