Young Choreographer's Forum

What is Young Choreographer's Forum?
Mark Foehringer Dance Project offers this educational opportunity to young choreographers who are looking for guidance and feedback on the process of making a dance. The YCF is divided into three gatherings.Choreographers should bring their concept or proposal for their work to the first panel review session. Choreographers should also be prepared to show some of the material he/she is planning to develop for this new work. If there is a musical selection, choreographers should bring it to the first panel review session. Choreographers should bring in their dancers to show the work in progress on the second panel review. Choreographers MUST attend both sessions. The final step of the YCF is the Young Choreographer's Festival which is presented in association with Dancing in the Park on April 28, 2012 at the Bandshell in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.
