15th Annual Nantucket Dance Festival: Becoming part of the island community

In celebration of the 15-year milestone, I spoke with Artistic Director Tyler Angle about what to expect at this year’s festival, what it is like to adapt world-class performance for a smaller more intimate stage, and how the festival has evolved during his tenure.

In this episode, Tyler talks about the different ways in which this week-long event has woven itself into the fabric of our island community.

This is a production of the Nantucket Atheneum. It was written narrated and edited by Janet Forest. Special thanks to Tyler Angle for bringing the Dance Festival to Nantucket year after year.

The Nantucket Dance Festival will run from July 18 to July 23, and many events are free and open to the public. You can find all the details and where to buy tickets at nantuketatheneum.org.
