New Voices: An insight into PNB’s unique choreography program for young women

PNB's New Voices students will be presenting their original work on Wednesday, June 5th in Studio C. New Voices is unique to PNBS; it is a program is solely focused on educating and fostering the next generation of female choreographers. By offering young women the time and space to expand their choreographic knowledge and experience, they gain a valuable and broader view about dance and creative process. This not only applies to their training, but how they engage with the art form on a deeper and more holistic level.
