Choreographer Participation

If you are interested in participation in Dance 65 as a choreographer, you must have completed a choreography course at IVC or another accredited college.

Fill out a choreographer proposal sheet and present your project at choreographers’ meeting on the first Friday of the semester in room 270 from 4-6pm.

Selected choreographers will audition dancers on the second week-end of the semester: Friday from 4-6:30pm and Saturday from 12:30-3:00pm. After the Saturday audition, choreographers will stay to coordinate the casting with Dance 65 faculty and set up the rehearsal schedule for their dance.

Choreographers will attend a mandatory lighting class early in the semester in the Performing Arts Center.

Choreographers will present their pieces at 3 showings scheduled throughout the semester. Final concert programming will be determined after the second showing.

Pieces not ready for the concert will be shown at the informal choreography presentation at the end of the semester.

All choreographers are required to participate in the technical and production aspects of the concerts.

Those who fail to enroll in DNCE65 (2 units) by the time of the casting audition will not be allowed to choreograph for the semester unless special arrangements are made in advance with the DNCE65 faculty's agreement.
