Showcase Choreographers: Congratulations on being accepted to the 1st annual Bakersfield Choreography Conference as a Showcase Choreographer! We wanted to give you a brief introduction and let you know what to expect as you prepare for our three week conference.
A Showcase Choreographer will participate in choreography workshop classes each day, focusing on different techniques and concepts, and then break apart into smaller groups with dancers assigned for you to work with to create choreography, exploring the ideas we have worked on in class. Throughout the three week session, you will have the opportunity to develop a short piece, receive constructive feedback as it is being set, and then present it for performance at the final showcase.

What you will need to bring:
- a notebook
- a smart phone/mp3 player/other device for playing music***
- a separate device (bring or borrow from a friend) for recording video clips of your work at various stages to assist with the choreography process over the 3-week period
- appropriate dance and footwear

***Special Note About Music: You will want to have a selection of music options chosen ahead of time that you can choose from for our choreography sessions. Make sure you have lots of options to choose from, as you want to be able to be open minded about your options and not be already "stuck" to a particular song or artist prior to coming in to each session. Also keep in mind (particularly if any of your selections have lyrics) that all music used needs to be appropriate for all ages. If you have any questions about this, please contact Alicia prior to the start of the conference.
