The IDACO—Italian DAnce COnnection [2]— festival is May 24-27 at the Baruch Performing Arts Center [3]. 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 [4] and access to Gisella Sorrentino's [5]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.”
