Session Description

The Choreographic Institute is a four-week residency designed to foster the development of new work by emerging choreographers of exceptional promise. Through this initiative, UNCSA School of Dance looks to deepen its mission of developing original works, supporting artists, and giving back to the broader community. The UNCSA Choreographic Institute is open to emerging choreographers who have a passion for developing and improving their skills as a choreographer. The institute will assist in improving one's artistic voice by providing insight and critical feedback in a process-driven environment. The 2024 Choreographic Institute will take place June 23 to July 20. The residency will consist of a daily technique class (optional), morning studio work sessions, workshops, artist talks, and critical feedback from esteemed choreographic mentors. The afternoons are devoted to rehearsals with a cast of dancers from the UNCSA Summer Dance Intensive. Additionally, choreographers will have access to our studios in the evenings for further choreographic research. The residency culminates in a performance of the work at one of our on-campus theaters.
