CALL FOR CHOREOGRAPHERS - Deadline August 31, 2023
Dance Canvas welcomes choreographers to apply for our signature program, the 2023-24 Choreographer Career Development Initiative.

NEW THIS SEASON, we are offering a limited choreographic residency in partnership with the High Museum, for a choreographer to create and rehearse their work at the High.

Our choreographers will also be invited to workshops, roundtable discussions, and seminars to develop their careers and build professional networks. For our 2023-24 season, we continue our partnership with the Ferst Center for the Arts at Georgia Tech, with culminating performances at the Ferst Center!
