ChoreoLab   (Monday-Saturday, August 5-10) 

ChoreoLab is a one-week residency for professional-caliber dancers looking for a focused creative period with invited choreographers to develop new creations and build artistic networks. Choreographers are chosen by special invitation from DanceWorks Chicago’s Artistic Director. Summer 2024 Choreographers are TBA. Each dancemaker hand-picks their cast out of the pool of ChoreoLab dancers. Days mirror life at DanceWorks Chicago and start with a morning technique class followed by rehearsal, coaching, and sharing. Be part of a rewarding week of using your technical skills and artistic voice that will be unveiled at a culminating showcase in the Ruth Page Center Theater.

The most beautiful aspect for me was simply sharing love and passion for this art form with others in an entirely judgement-free environment. I felt the most liberated in my dancing than I have in a long time, and I found a new appreciation for myself in ways I had never expected.

Combine with any or all of the two DanceForce weeks to take your ChoreoLab experience to the next level!

DATES: Monday-Saturday, August 5-10
