CHOREOGRAPHY CO-LABS
Free interactive events designed to allow audiences participate in the choreographic process
SURPRISE DANCE presents works in public spaces and/or at community events not traditionally designed to accommodate dance. These free events, like flash mobs, take advantage of existing and captive audiences: people waiting in lines, walking to a destination, eating or shopping with a view of the performance. These performances are a way to reach new and diverse audiences, and to offer communities free access and exposure to professional dance.
DOVETAIL RECEPTIONS at Intersect Arts Center introduce immediate community members of Intersect Arts Center to Leverage's unique style of modern dance theater.
