“DANCEworks has been one of the most (if not the most) fruitful creative opportunities I have ever spent.”
– Doug Elkins, 2011 Resident Choreographer.

“Keigwin + Company’s four weeks at DANCEWORKS 2010 provided us with the invaluable experience of spending an extended period of time devoted to the creation of new work.  Composing on the historic Lobero Stage was truly a gift.”
– Larry Keigwin, 2010 Resident Choreographer, Keigwin + Company

“DANCEworks 2009 was a stupendous, rich, intense journey that I will always cherish. It was one of the most exciting experiences that my group has ever had… It’s such a rare opportunity to work in a theater like this for four weeks. It is a dream destination for an artist that supports and nurtures growth, aliveness and pure creativity.”
– Aszure Barton, 2009 Resident Choreographer
