Up & Coming Choreographers

Choreographers	Rachelle Scott and Tom Weinberger
Duration	90 min

Each season, NDT and Korzo give emerging, talented makers the chance to create a work for an intimate setting in Up & Coming Choreographers. This project is a springboard for new voices, experimentation, and artistic exchange. The collaboration culminates in performances by NDT 2 dancers in our spacious-yet-intimate auditorium.

This season we welcome Rachelle Scott and Tom Weinberger as our Up & Coming Choreographers. With their inspiring visions and movement languages, they offer a glimpse into the future of contemporary dance. We’re proud to support them in their artistic development and you’re invited to come cheer them on.
