ChoreoLab: Makers and Movers

The ChoreoLab: Makers and Movers is a one week workshop taking place at the end of the Summer Intensive. It has 2 tracks: The Maker Track and The Mover Track. The Maker Track is open to student choreographers ages 18-24. Makers will have choreography seminars, be paired with a mentor, and work with Movers to create in a process oriented environment. Makers are NOT required to audition or attend the Summer Intensive but rather are selected through an application process. The Mover Track provides dancers ages 17-22 with an opportunity to simulate a company experience being engaged in rehearsal and creation processes. Dancers are selected and invited through an in person Summer Intensive Audition. The ChoreoLab will culminate in a showing at The Bolender Center.
