PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT 

The goal of the Emerging Choreographer Series is to have each participant become fully prepared and equipped to choreograph and bring their original work to the stage. Selected choreographers will be expected to learn and to execute the many aspects of self-producing in NYC. Participants will be required to cast and manage their dancers, plan and schedule rehearsal, provide props and costumes, submit material and paperwork for their group, advertise the event, as well as complete all related assignments and responsibilities. 

For ECS 2024, Nicola Iervasi (ECS Program Director), Kevin Albert (Dramaturg) and Rohan Bhargava (ECS Program Coordinator) will provide logistic production and hands-on support based on each choreographer specific needs.
