For the past two months, choreographers and dancers have been taking part in what curator Deborah Brockus calls Choreographer + Dancer MATCH, a choreographic residency which took place at Brockus Project Studios in East Los Angeles. “This residency matches creators and dancers and culminates in produced performance of new original works in the contemporary modern genre.”
Twelve choreographers were selected, and 40 dancers auditioned who were then assigned to choreographers. Each choreographer set out to create a new work which will premiere on 5 showcases spread over 3 weekends.
