Four/Four Presents Take Digital Music and Dance Collaborations to Open Air For In-Person Summer Series

four/four presents is a NYC-based curatorial platform that commissions collaborations between musicians and choreographers. Developed by choreographer Loni Landon and producer Rachael Pazdan in April 2020, four/four works to bridge the gap between dance and music audiences, and develop a new network to align artists. We champion emerging artists as well as established talent, and aim to create space for artists to grow and for audiences to grow with them.
