emerging artist choreographic festival

Our Emerging Artists Choreographic Festival is one of the major parts that sets us apart from other conventions and competitions.  The choreographic festival is about more than the dancers on stage, but rather provides the opportunity for new and young choreographers to showcase their artistry, technique, movement, and vision.

​

This is ideal for pre-professionals, working professionals, and student choreographers that are always searching for a creative outlet to express their point of view.  Selected faculty will personally adjudicate festival entries by giving feedback, critiques, suggestions, and support for each entry submitted. Entries to the EACF are not based off a point system, rather our industry professionals will deliberate after all performances and choose the top winners from each location.

Awards
