The National Choreographers Initiative was developed to promote the creation and production of professional dance. It is also an opportunity to engage outstanding choreographers from around the United States in the creative process. There is a need nationwide to have a workshop setting where choreographers can initiate new work as well as experiment and develop their craft. The National Choreographers Initiative is an opportunity to develop and produce dance in support of the national dance community by inviting choreographers of note to participate in this project. NCI provides an opportunity for the southern California community to be a part of the process of creating new contemporary ballets and seeing these works performed for the very first time.

Arts Orange County held its eighth annual Orange County Arts Awards on Sept. 26, 2007 presenting a number of awards to local recipients.

Molly Lynch, Artistic Director of National Choreographers Initiative, received an Arts Orange County 2007 Award for outstanding arts organization. Click here to read the article. Opens in a new browser window.
