Project Description
With the support from the California Arts Council, YOUNG CHOREOGRAPHERS PROJECT will provide choreography and mentoring programming to young people living in the inner-city of Los Angels. Participants will receive one-on-one coaching and group instruction in choreography and leadership. Coaching and instruction will be provided by some of LA’s top professional dancers. Programming will end with a showcase, where participants will present their work to friends, family, & community members.
Organization Summary
Young choreographers project currently provides a 8-week programs during the school year and week-long choreography intensives every summer.
During our 8-week programs, we match young dancers (ages 13-18) with dance professionals who mentor and guide students through the process of creating an original dance piece. Over the 8 weeks, each student develops a concept, creates movement, leads their peers in rehearsals, and showcases their work at a final performance. Having the opportunity to become a choreographer enhances each student’s relationship with dance and strengthens their technical skills and body awareness.
Our Summer Choreography Intensives allow students to experiment and explore with movement. Students discover several ways to create movement and cover everything from improvisation to musicality and timing. The week ends with a studio showcase for friends and family.
