The goal of the Incubator dance residency program is to contribute to the future of American dance by supporting the creation of daring new choreographic works. There is powerful value in nurturing artists and companies that have something new to bring to the world but need the space, resources and support to flesh it out. ADI has established the Incubator as a way to provide a literal and emotional space around forward-thinking artists in order to cultivate and introduce new important works to the world of American dance. The Incubator provides two types of residencies:
National Incubator invites artists and companies from outside of the DC area for a 1-3 week rehearsal period culminating in a weekend performance of their work for the ADI audience.
Metro Incubator provides artists from the metro DC free rehearsal space for eight months to collaborate pressure-free on a piece of original work. At the end of the eight months, these resident artists will showcase their new work to the ADI audience.

With 11 performers and live music by Steve Wanna, Tzveta’s new work promises to be an exciting, engaging, and bigger than life experience!
Described by Tzveta as, “A cornucopia of seasons. A bouquet of international spices…spicier than gluhwein! Good smellier than the cherry blossoms. (Except when we smell like rehearsal sweat.) We are lunging, jumping, spinning, goliath-ing, mammoth jamming, and pint-sized patrolling. What? We are dancing our booties off to make cool art-house art dance!”
Tzveta Kassabova a Bulgarian born independent choreographer, costume designer and installation artist, named one of the ’25 to watch’ in 2012 by Dance Magazine.
