The College of DuPage Dance Department will present its second annual Choreographers Showcase at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 6, in the Playhouse Theatre at the McAninch Arts Center at the Glen Ellyn campus, 425 Fawell Blvd.
Eight choreographers were chosen from a highly competitive group of submissions. Artists include Hayley Ader, Francesca Baron, Paige Deets, Taylor Mitchell, Joe Musiel, Sarah Olson, Selena Robinson and Amy Szabo. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three scorers, based on creativity and originality. In addition, one participating choreographer may also be chosen to serve as a featured guest at a COD Dance Showcase in the 2016-2017 academic year. One or more selected choreographers may also be offered a $1,000 stipend to choreograph a new work for a student performance. Click here for more information on the choreographers.
Prior to the showcase, COD dance students will perform an opening piece created in collaboration with instructor Jon Sloven who will also provide a post-show talk, giving audience members an opportunity to interact with the eight featured choreographers.
