The Denver Independent Choreographers' Project
(DICP) assists independent dance choreographers to create and show
their original works to the general public in a professional setting,
using professional-caliber dancers. New choreographers, choreographers
working outside of an established dance company, and newcomers to
the area particularly enjoy the DICP’s choreography showcase
structure. Now in its third season, DICP concerts offer the unexpected,
the fresh and experimental, and the always varied perspectives of
a constantly changing roster of dance artists.
This 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
provides an outlet for both dancers and choreographers by providing
performance opportunities; expert feedback and critique to choreographers;
teaching opportunities; and a professional DVD of each work of choreography.
The DICP benefits the professional or post-professional dancer by
offering a creative and professional outlet for maintaining or rebuilding
performance stature. In addition, the DICP provides advanced to professional
level dancers in the Denver area the opportunity to work with up-and-coming
choreographers in professional dance performances, providing rehearsal
and performing experience, as well as a final documentation of their
performances, which can be used for future employment. As well, The
DICP offers master classes throughout the year, with innovative teachers,
in multiple disciplines.
The DICP provides choreographers a free-form outlet for their original
works, capable dancers on which to set their pieces, and necessary
exposure to the dance community through publicity, professional critiques,
performance opportunities, and video recordings of their finished
products. As a result, the DICP supports dancers who hope to transition
into choreography, independent choreographers seeking resources for
their talents, and under-utilized dancers in the Denver area who are
seeking performance opportunities.
