About the event
Creation Lab is a five-day creative process intensive designed for dancers ages 12 and up who are interested in exploring choreography, freestyle, collaboration, and artistic expression. Throughout the week, participants will dive into topics such as movement creation, teaching techniques, music selection, basic music editing, and improvisation while learning what goes into bringing a dance piece from concept to stage.
After exploring these creative tools, dancers will spend the remainder of the week working together to develop and refine an original group piece. The experience concludes with a final presentation and freestyle session, celebrating the creative process and the unique voices of each participant.
Perfect for dancers who love to create, collaborate, and think beyond the choreography they are given, Creation Lab encourages artistic growth in a supportive and inspiring environment.
