This fall, DLNY is partnering with The Joyce Theater Foundation to provide a one-of-a-kind choreographic lab for four diverse female choreographers to explore the classical, neoclassical, and contemporary ballet idioms.
DLNY and The Joyce Theater Foundation are honored to provide a platform to this group of dancemakers whose voices are still underrepresented in this genre so that their narratives may be included in the future of ballet.
For this groundbreaking collaboration, each choreographer will receive 30 hours of incubation in rehearsal space provided by the Joyce Artist Residency Center from October 14 through November 8, 2019. The Joyce Lab will culminate with a Guggenheim Works & Process showing on the evening of SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2019.
