The Group Theatre Too (GTT) recently presented its sixth annual Choreographer's Canvas, a one-night event featuring the works of over fifteen established and emerging choreographers from around the country. The Canvas, headed by GTT Executive Producer Justin Boccitto, played at the Manhattan Movement and Arts Center on Saturday May 18th and showcased many styles of dance including tap, ballet, jazz, hip-hop, contemporary, theatre dance, aerial and this year swing dance. For the past 6 years the Canvas has presented over 65 choreographers, giving opportunity to over 450 dancers performing to sold houses. Check out photos from the event below!
The event was sponsored by Broadway Dance Center, Capezio, Manhattan Movement and the Society of Directors and Choreographers as well as numerous arts philanthropists. Last year's Canvas featured a tribute to noted theatre and film choreographer, the late Tony Stevens. This year the Canvas included Bobby Hedglin-Taylor, aerial choreographer whose work is represented in the Broadway revival of Pippin, as well as Richard Hinds, who is the Associate Director of both Newsies and the Broadway revival of Jekyll and Hyde.
