About the Experience
CDF’s 4th Annual Dance & Choreography Fellowship Showcase
Experience the culmination of CDF’s 4th Annual Dance & Choreography Fellowship Program — a pay-what-you-wish performance produced by dance maven Lillian Barbeito, featuring new works created under the mentorship of acclaimed New York City–based choreographer Sidra Bell. This inspiring evening highlights three emerging choreographers — Leandro Damasco Jr., Rachel Harris, and Hassan Syed — whose distinctive voices represent the next generation of dance artistry.
This year’s Showcase also includes a performance by Ballare Carmel and a special appearance by Edd Arnold of Tanztheater Wuppertal. Arnold will perform, choreograph the finale work on the Fellows, and share his award-winning dance film By The Sea.
Following the performance, join us for a brief Q&A and post-show reception with the artists — an opportunity to meet the Fellows, hear about their creative process, and celebrate their accomplishments with the Carmel Dance Festival community.
