Chamber Dance Project (CDP), Washington’s premier contemporary ballet company, continued its popular Virtual Chat series on June 16 with guest choreographer Claudia Schreier.
She discussed her new work for CDP, “Alight,” which will now premiere in June 2021. A video of a portion of the work was presented. Schreier, who graduated Harvard in 2008, has choreographed for dance, opera and film across the U.S. and internationally. She discussed the development of her work for CDP and her ideas on ways to cultivate and amplify Black voices in dance.
Schreier, whose work for Dance Theatre of Harlem was seen at the Kennedy Center last year, was recently named Choreographer in Residence at Atlanta Ballet.
