Thanks to a grant from the MRAC, Ballet Co.Laboratory (BCL) was able to pay four, emerging BIPOC choreographers to create four new dance works in addition to gaining experience in the administrative and production elements that go into creating a production. Forty upper-level students of BCL had the opportunity to work alongside these choreographers as they created their original works ? an experience that is typically reserved for professional dancers. Both students and artists learned new skills in creating and performing dance works for film. This resulted in a high-quality, two-day virtual festival in which 633 individuals / 253 households viewed. Feedback from artists, students, staff, parents, and audience/community members were enthusiastically positive. The success of this production was evaluated through ticket sales, media coverage, artistic output, surveys, q-and-a sessions, and formal/informal conversations.
