"The connections I've made with other artists at Summer Stages are real connections that carry on, beyond the three weeks we stay in Concord. The growth and positive forces you feel here are amazing. I felt so inspired; I felt I could do anything." – Anne Zuerner, CPF '07
The Choreographers’ Project gives promising emerging choreographers the opportunity to develop new work in a supportive environment. Fellows select a cast of dancers from the pool of workshop students and have access to rehearsal space in the evenings and on weekends. Fellows are mentored by faculty daily, and the weekly Choreographers’ Project Seminar class provides an additional forum for feedback on developing work. At the close of the three-week workshop, the Fellows’ work is presented in the Choreographers’ Project Showcase, a professionally-produced evening performance that is open to the public. Three Fellowships will be awarded for 2008.
The choreographers who are selected receive fellowships to the program, which, in addition to room and board, include the following:
- Mentorship by workshop faculty and resident artists
- Access to all Summer Stages Dance’s classes and performances
- Studio space and up to 60 hours of rehearsal time with dancers drawn from the pool of Workshop participants
- Informal weekly showings of their work, which are open to all Workshop members and culminate in a commentary on the presentation by the full faculty and guest artists
- Open rehearsal and fully produced public performance of work created during the residency.

“Summer Stages was my dream-I-never-knew-I-had come true. Being surrounded by committed artists on every level, it gave me the sense of a small close-knit community hard to find in our ever-expanding world. I learned an incredible amount about my own artistic process and strengths in this intensive three weeks, that I'm sure will benefit me throughout my career.”
--Charles Gushue, CPF 2007
