Students join us in profound processes of collaboration, creation, and performance of new works by leading choreographers. We challenge their artistic voices through a remarkable roster of renowned Bay Area, national, and international guest artists, and they experience the thrill of sharing their unique creativity with San Francisco audiences in performances like this upcoming winter showcase. Ultimately, we strive to develop strong, versatile, and compassionate artists who are empowered to share their unique voices.
