ARTIST IN RESIDENCY
ONE WEEK. TWO LEGENDS.
INCREDIBLE NEW WORK.
The CHHSDF Artist in Residency program is an intensive opportunity for selected dancers to train and create under the direction of industry leaders.
Dancers audition for the chance to participate in a rigorous, one-week creation process, culminating in the performance of a brand-new, professional piece.
This is a bridge for emerging talent to work with master choreographers and perform on major festival stages.
