About National Choreographers Initiative
Currently, the National Choreographers Initiative is gearing up for its annual summer workshop, which is set to take place in July 2024. This year's program will feature a diverse group of choreographers selected through a competitive application process, offering them the opportunity to collaborate with professional dancers from across the country. In addition to the main workshop, the initiative plans to host a series of public performances showcasing the new works created during the residency. These performances not only highlight the innovative choreography but also aim to engage the community and inspire the next generation of artists. Furthermore, NCI is expanding its outreach efforts, partnering with local schools and community organizations to conduct workshops and masterclasses aimed at making dance more accessible to young people. As part of their current events, NCI continues to adapt to the changing landscape of live performances, exploring virtual platforms to reach broader audiences and ensure that the art of dance remains vibrant and relevant in today's world. The initiative's commitment to supporting choreographers and fostering new talent remains steadfast, making it a cornerstone of the theatrical dance community.
National Choreographers Initiative History
The National Choreographers Initiative (NCI) was founded in 2004 by the renowned choreographer Molly Lynch in an effort to support and promote the creation of new works within the field of dance. The initiative emerged as a response to the growing need for innovative choreography and the desire to provide a platform for emerging and established choreographers to develop their craft. NCI's unique model emphasizes collaboration between choreographers and dancers, fostering an environment where creativity can flourish. Over the years, the initiative has gained recognition for its commitment to artistic excellence and has facilitated the creation of numerous original dance works that have premiered at various prestigious venues. NCI not only provides funding and resources for choreographers but also engages with local communities through performances and outreach programs, enhancing the appreciation of dance in the theatrical landscape. Through its annual workshops, NCI has nurtured the talents of many choreographers, leading to a rich tapestry of contemporary dance that reflects the evolving nature of the art form.
