About

Deepen Your Process.
Transform Your Career.

The Workshop is designed to provide the rare space of sustained, process-driven time centered on growth, without the stress of casting or a performance.

You'll work with internationally recognized choreographers and répétiteurs as you explore movement more deeply, refine your partnering and improvisation skills, and strengthen your artistic voice, particularly when approaching contemporary work or new creations.

The Workshop is intended for dancers who have been employed in a company or have freelance experience for 2+ years. Advanced university dancers and second company / trainees will also be considered. All dancers must be 18 or older by the start of the session.
