We are so excited to have Angela Hill leading a workshop choreography so that artists of all levels and disciplines can learn the ins and outs of creating a dance. Included for free will be a series of roundtables where members of the dance community can come together to discuss creating work as well as sharing work that was created over the weekend (or something that is already a work-in-progress). This should be an extra special weekend and with several upcoming opportunities for artists to share work in Knoxville, this is a great way to test the waters of creation or start working on a potential dance for a show. For more information on the event, visit our website where you will soon be able to register online. You can also learn more about Angela by reading her bio found on our Core Dancers page on the website.
