Over two weeks we’ll be hosting 10 pop-up workshops from acclaimed artists in the city and 2 creation processes led by Dora award-winning artists William Yong and Alyssa Martin. At the end of each week, the processes will culminate in a show at the Citadel alongside guest performances curated by The Fifth.

Workshop Facilitators:
Heidi Strauss, Colleen Snell, Meryem Alaoui, Debbie Wilson, David Norsworthy, Sid Ryan Eilers, Kelly Shaw (Côté Danse), Peggy Baker, Daniela Jezerinac, and Rion Taylor.

This year we’ve given you lots of options to train the way that best serves you.

Looking for inspiration from a variety of artists? Join our morning guest workshops and explore diverse movement perspectives.

Want to be part of a creation process but can’t commit to a full day? Engage in a focused one-week creation process with either Alyssa Martin or William Yong, and perform a brand-new piece at The Citadel at the end of the week.

Seeking a comprehensive, immersive experience? Opt for our traditional two-week full-day intensive—the best value option—designed to deepen your knowledge, and technique and expand your artistry.
