CHOREOGRAPHERS
Applications are closed and will re-open spring ’24.
Whim W’Him dancers, under the artistic direction of Olivier Wevers, seek choreographers to create new dance works for the company’s “Choreographic Shindig”. Selected choreographers will be invited to Seattle to create an original dance with the Whim W’Him professional dancers. Choreographers share 2-3 week residencies, which culminate in 8 public performances of a professional split-bill in Seattle.
