Choreographic Residencies

• Choreographic residencies with guest artists are offered at least once per year. Typically the guest choreographer is in residence for one to two weeks. These residencies are a high priority for the education of each student.
• Guest artists of prominence who have set their work on our student dancers include:
  • Melissa Lowe-Hancock
  • Gail Gilbert
  • Mitzi Adams
  • Elaine Husted
  • Jon Finck
  • Christopher Morgan
  • Barbea Williams
• All majors are expected to audition for the guest artist choreography and fully participate as a cast member, if chosen.
• The auditions and classes are mandatory.
