Amazing to see NCI Dancer alumna #MaggieSmall quoted in @nytimes - Brava! "'There is not a single narrative to capture what it is to be a Black dancer,' she said." nytimes.com/2020/08/06/arts/…

Every July since 2004, the National Choreographers Initiative has premiered new contemporary dance works on the Barclay stage. The performance is the result of a three-week choreographic "lab". This summer, NCI has moved their annual event to the virtual stage. //Photo: Rob Salas

Today would have been the dress rehearsal for the #NCI 2020 showcase...thank you, @voiceofOC for sharing our story! voiceofoc.org/2020/07/nation… This article includes insights from soon-to-be NCI #choreographers Kate Skarpetowska & Mari Meade, plus NCI Artistic Director #mollylynch.

National Choreographer’s Initiative Goes Dark for the First Time in 17 Years

The annual summer program for providing a space for new, up-and-coming choreographers to develop new work will take a hiatus this year, with hopes of returning next summer if it is safe to do so.
