Moving Into the Future: New Jersey Choreographers’ Festival

Join us to celebrate the 2023 Arts Council Choreography Fellows!

Over three evenings of performances, the 2024 NJ State Council on the Arts Choreographers’ Showcase Moving Into the Future celebrates the dynamic and diverse artistic visions of 14 of the 2023 Arts Council Choreography Fellows.  These talented artists bring the beauty and athleticism of dance to the SOPAC stage!

Each evening the performances will be followed by a moderated talkback with the choreographers.

This program is conducted by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, in partnership with the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation.  To learn more about the Individual Artist Fellowship program, visit the Mid Atlantic Arts website.

Moving Into the Future: New Jersey Choreographers’ Festival is a co-sponsored project of SOPAC and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.
