PTP Inaugural Program
Session I April 3–May 5, 2017 Session II May 8–June 9, 2017
Fall 2017–Spring 2019
Previewing Hubbard Street’s new approach to artist training, designed specifically for early-career and pre-professional dancers ages 18–24, the PTP Pilot offers full immersion into the development of this curriculum during two five-week sessions in Chicago. Dancers invited to take part in the PTP Pilot program may choose one or both five-week spring sessions. All dancers who attend the PTP Pilot Program will also be invited to participate in the Inaugural PTP in Fall 2017.
Beginning with the launch of the two-year program in the Fall of 2017, the PTP will provide a comprehensive course of study for dancers entering their professional careers. Participants will thrive in a dynamic environment that fosters the artistic growth and skill-building necessary for success and longevity in the field of contemporary dance. Dancer training will culminate in the synthesis of studied techniques, exploratory movement strategies, and the integration of this new knowledge into thought processes and performance
