Creator Lab History

In the words of Pablo Picasso, “It begins with an idea, and then it becomes something else.” The genesis of any body of work has to start somewhere. But once the choreographer establishes the idea, then what? How is that idea translated through dance? This was the springboard for Creator Lab. By keeping the framework simple, Kristin D’Addario, Artistic Director, developed this workshop using the four basic elements of dance to mentor the choreographic process through intentional creation. The lab is designed to support the young creative from the original inspiration all the way to realization in performance. We are designed to be creative – it’s a matter of discovering the tools and then simply getting curious!

Creator Lab: Movement Design Feedback:

 

“I found to be more comfortable in my creativity. I gained so much knowledge and was given the tools I need to create my own personal piece and how to make that dynamic.” – Emily Zinn

 

I found it very beneficial and it taught me a lot about different aspects and methods in choreography and setting a piece. I loved being able to better understand the choreography process in more depth and I hope we can continue having more workshops.” – Vianh Dolan

 

“Truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had, I’m so grateful for a space to be creative and fully immerse myself into dance. I can’t wait to work with the tools i’ve learned in the coming months.”   – Alessandra Kelly
