Think like a designer.

Performa Choreographic supports the
creation of new dance and live art in a
community model. During a multi-week
intensive period, artists drop-in to generate
original, body-based movement
compositions among peers.

Develop compositional skills and
supplement your craft in a tightly structured
container that is free from mirrors,
predetermined technique, and music. Gain
guidance and join a vibrant conversation
with an enthusiastic cohort.

Start by making a phrase and then editing
your material through a multi-disciplined
approach. Performa is a way to spur highly
personal movement invention and visual
experimentation in your voice.

Curiosity is at the heart as you choreograph
independently and adapt collaboratively,
with a forward-looking approach.

You are ready. Promise.
