Amoeba Productions is proud to introduce the two resident choreographers selected for our Emerging Choreographers Residency, a program designed to support rising dance artists as they develop and present bold new work.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who took the time to submit their work. This was a deeply competitive process, and we were so inspired by the artistry in every application. A huge congratulations to our selected choreographers, we can’t wait to see what they create.
About the Residency
Amoeba Productions will host a residency program for two choreographers. Each choreographer will create a 20-minute original piece to present in a one-night-only performance. Choreographers are welcome to bring their own dancers, and the choreographers, dancers, and Amoeba staff will meet and rehearse once a week for three weeks leading up to the show.
Amoeba Productions will provide each choreographer with a stipend of $100, cover all rehearsal space costs, confirm the performance venue, and film both rehearsals and the final performance.
