AMERICAN REALNESS

AMERICAN REALNESS AMERICAN REALNESS is an annual festival of new dance and contemporary performance curated and produced by Ben Pryor / tbspMGMT at the Abrons Art Center.

Created by Thomas Benjamin Snapp Pryor (tbspMGMT) in partnership with the Abrons Arts Center in January 2010, American Realness is a festival of dance and contemporary performance. An internationally recognized platform for the discovery of new works from subversive artists, tearing at the boundaries of their forms, American Realness commands attention for the proliferation of choreographic and pe

rformative practices transcending the traditions and rewriting the definitions of American dance and performance. In 2014, the festival expanded its scope to include the work of international artists, engaging in a global dialogue on the practice and presentation of contemporary dance and performance.
