Green Space Presents DIGGING IN GROUP COHORT As Part Of Fertile Ground New Works Showcase

Green Space has announced its artists residency program, Digging in Group.

 

D.I.G. will provide seven choreographers with an excellent opportunity to develop and share new work together during eight sessions, ending in a culminating Fertile Ground New Works Series performance on March 10th, 2024.

 

D.I.G. is about deepening the creative process while building relationships with fellow NYC choreographers and dancers. Each two-hour session will be moderated by a rotating member of the Green Space Advisory Board, including Chris Ferris, Aviva Geismar, Nicole McClam, Selma Trevino, and Artistic Director Valerie Green. During these sessions choreographers will present their work at various stages to their cohort, followed by a moderated peer discussion, enabling choreographers to receive informative feedback in a supportive environment.

 

The culminating performance for Digging in Group will consist of work that the cohort has been developing over the eight sessions, followed by final discussion moderated by Valerie Green - over wine - that integrates the choreographers, dancers, and audience members.
