New York will get a new dance festival this fall: Van Cleef & Arpels, the French luxury jeweler, announced on Tuesday that it would sponsor a 16-day event partly aimed at bringing more international choreographers and ensembles to the city. The festival, Dance Reflections, will feature groups like LA(HORDE), a French collective that will perform a work set to electronic music with the Ballet National de Marseille. The festival will open with an American classic: “Dance,” a 1979 collaboration between the postmodern choreographer Lucinda Childs and the composer Philip Glass, performed by the Lyon Opera Ballet on Oct. 19 at New York City Center. “We want to combine together very different approaches and to promote the diversity and richness of dance,” Serge Laurent, director of dance and culture programs for Van Cleef & Arpels, said in an interview. “It’s important for the development of artists and audience to be exposed to different approaches, and to have another view of the international scene.”The lineup also includes work by the experimental choreographer Gisèle Vienne and U.S. premieres by Rachid Ouramdane, who directs the Chaillot-Théâtre National de la Danse in Paris; the contemporary choreographer Dimitri Chamblas, in a collaboration with Kim Gordon; the Polish-born choreographer Ola Maciejewska; and the British-Rwandan artist Dorothée Munyaneza.
