Crossing the Line 2011 presents a broad-ranging program of performances/events in both indoor and outdoor locations across New York City aimed at engaging diverse audiences. This year’s festival program can be framed by three principal programming clusters: Fiction & Non-Fiction, a Lecture/Performance series, and Endurance/Resistance/Inspiration. This fifth edition will continue the festival’s focus on supporting the creation of new work through its vital commissioning program and will feature new works by Nick van Woert, Kimberly Bartosik, Soundwalk, Prune Nourry, Chong Gon Byun, Amélie Chabannes, Rachid Ouramdane, Marie Losier, and Arthur Nauzyciel, among others.
Conceived and produced by FIAF in partnership with leading New York cultural institutions, Crossing the Line 2011 is co-curated by Lili Chopra (Artistic Director, FIAF) and Simon Dove (Director, Herberger Institute School of Dance, Arizona State University). “Crossing the Line invites New Yorkers to re-imagine the world in which they live, and to reconsider the role they play in it,” said Lili Chopra and Simon Dove. “The extraordinary work presented by this year’s artists is potent, vivid, and immensely inspiring.”
