Experience the Future of Dance

​

CDF’s 4th Annual Dance & Choreography Fellowship Showcase

​

Experience the culmination of CDF’s 4th Annual Dance & Choreography Fellowship Program — a pay-what-you-can (suggested donation $40) 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 guest 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.

 

Seating is general admission, with only 40 VIP seats available. VIP tickets are $100  and include reserved seating in the best seats in the house, along with recognition in the keepsake program.

 

Each Dance Fellow participates on a   full scholarship   made possible by our generous patrons. Scholarship Patrons are also invited to a private Dinner and behind~the~scenes experience with the Artists on Tuesday, December 30 — an rare and exciting evening of conversation, connection, and artistry.
