Fertile Ground is a NON-CURATED showcase for emerging and/or established artists. The evening consists of work shown by six choreographers, followed by a moderated discussion that integrates the choreographers, dancers, and audience members. This series offers an excellent opportunity for participants to share new and developing work, and receive informative feedback about it in a supportive environment. Choreographers must be present for tech, presentation, and discussion.
