Platform 2026: Secret Gardens, co-curated by Judy Hussie-Taylor and Seta Morton, tends to the relationships between plants and dance; strategic seedings, subterranean root systems, medicinal blossoms, rituals and rabbit holes.

In the wake of a threatening economic and political climate, dance in New York City continues to survive, grow, and flower new possibilities. Like the underground mycorrhizal network of a forest, communities of artists and artworkers forge symbiotic connections to enact vital artistic transmission, share resources, and produce knowledge. Secret Gardens gathers individual and collective blooms from artists that have planted roots at Danspace Project. Each work is a bloom and a garden; a world of the artist’s making.

Platform 2026 celebrates a commitment to tend both new and long-term artistic relationships and the dissemination of ideas that occur within and beyond our soil.

Can dance and performance be medicine in tumultuous times?
What ephemeral and alchemical rituals are necessary to counter homogeneity?
What curative remedies can we unearth? What secrets remain hidden underground?
