Dance Lab New York hosted choreographer Mack Alston for the Fall 2025 NextGen Apprenticeship.

Under the guidance of DLNY’s Resident Mentor, Michele Byrd-McPhee , NextGen Choreographers engage in virtual learning sessions, receive support from guest teaching artists, develop an individualized choreography methodology, and share their works-in-process in a culminating Share-and-Tell.

Take a look inside Mack’s Lab to discover the choreographer in process. Watch the video, explore the images, and get to know more about how our Lab Cycle supports dancemakers.
