The Choreographer Showcase is directed by Assistant Professor of Dance

and presents an exciting mixed bill of choreography from classical ballet to contemporary dance. The featured student choreographers are

Molly-Grace Lewis

,

Brenna Sweeny

,

Hope Friedman

,

Amelia Harris

,

Alexandria Wright

Hannah Holtsclaw

Students are reimagining what can be done on point shoes and are commissioning original music for their choreography, Megerdichian says. They have collaborated with CCM set and lighting designers and are “pushing the boundaries of expected norms.”

“The works are bold, imaginative and incredibly moving,” Megerdichian adds. “The sheer variety of work combined and their emotional resonance will keep audiences at the edge of their seats. It’s a beautiful show.”
