This year’s Hudson Valley Dance Festival lineup includes:

• GALLIM presenting an exhilarating excerpt of company founder Andrea Miller’s Year, an imaginative group performance that examines transformation through a contemporary lens
• Leggybones Physical Theater returning with the mesmerizing This for Now, a fusion of contemporary dance and playful physicality that founders Casey Bronwyn Howes and Jacob Michael Warren premiered at this summer’s Fire Island Dance Festival
• Visionary filmmaker, choreographer and dancer Pontus Lidberg presenting a commanding preview of his latest work, inspired by the romance of Brokeback Mountain. The work will be created during a residency at Modern Accord Depot in the Hudson Valley.

Additional performers and choreographers will be announced next month.
