The New Dance Lab is a partnership between The Kansas Creative Arts Industries Commission and Johnson County Community College.
The New Dance Lab allows a select group of established and aspiring dance professionals throughout the state of Kansas the opportunity to participate in intimate one-on-one and small group professional development experiences with one of the following national artists:
The lab is a component of New Dance Partners, an initiative launched in 2013 by the Performing Arts Series/Carlsen Center at Johnson County Community College to develop a dance awareness strategy for the region. Through New Dance Partners, a select group of local professional dance companies are paired with reputable choreographers from across the county to create new works. The program provides an opportunity for local dance companies to advance and sustain artistic development while building the local dance audience through a community-based festival in Kansas that celebrates the broad spectrum of dance in the area.
This lab seeks to provide an opportunity for local dance company advancement and artistic development through meaningful contact with national choreographers, to raise the profile of dance in the region and to highlight local talent. We welcome Kansas applicants from all backgrounds and dance disciplines. A small travel stipend may be available for accepted applicants from outside the Johnson County area.
