Emerging Choreographer's Project
begins in our 21/22 season and will kick off our 22/23 season by bringing together JRD professionals and high school dancers (anyone!) to perform in a work created by one emerging choreographer. This project is hosted by Young Dancers Initiative and the work is performed at Brighton Dance Festival.
Through the Emerging Choreographer’s Project, we want to give choreographers the chance to create and inspire a new generation of movers. We also want to give young dancers extra opportunities to experience dance without the season-long commitment. Included in this one-week experience is the opportunity to dance with JRD PROFESSIONALS.
