National Choreographers Initiative - NCI Discovery 09

Be there for the birth of, not one, but four new ballets created as part of the intensive 3-week process of the National Choreographers Initiative. Director Molly Lynch has invited four choreographers of note - Sidra Bell, Deanna Carter, Rick McCullough, and Olivier Wevers - as well as sixteen professional dancers from ballet companies across the country, to participate. NCI is a southern California project with national influence. In its first four years, NCI has brought 16 choreographers to California to develop new works. Twelve of the pieces begun here have gone on to be premiered or developed further and performed elsewhere in the U.S. and abroad. The project culminates in a public performance that showcases the excitement of new creation. It’s also an opportunity to hear the choreographers talk about their concepts and ideas and for you to ask questions and participate in the discussion. It's an eye-opening journey into the world of dance creation.
