BEACON is an annual contemporary dance series whose mission is to provide a professional dance performance experience specifically for St. Petersburg. Co-founded and co-produced by St. Petersburg natives, Helen Hansen French and Lauren Slone, this series grew out of their strong desire to provide more opportunities for professional dancers and multidisciplinary artists to create and share high-quality work with the local community.
BEACON's Past
BEACON Team
We believe dance, as an embodied art form, is central to any understanding of our place in the world. It is critical for our communities to come together (even one night per year) to celebrate what dance alone has the power to do through BEACON – honor the potential and beauty of every human body.
