We'll hear from each of them about their work and vision for dance and dancers in Chicago. And there will be plenty of time for conversations and questions. See you there! Attendees will receive an email confirmation with the Zoom meeting ID and password upon registration.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! We want as many thoughts, ideas, and voices in these conversations as possible. Encourage your friends, colleagues, and peers (regardless of SCD membership status) to join the conversation on November 18.
