ABOUT THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

In addition to daily movement workshops with former DMUSA alumni, the artists collaborated with one another in the studio, engaged in professional development trainings through a partnership with Creative Capital, and showcased their studio collaborations in a final choreographic showing of their work.
