// Choreographer in Residence //
This program supports the work of Seattle’s finest veteran choreographers, providing free rehearsal space for one year. The CIR interfaces with Velocity’s other programs throughout the year.
Velocity’s Choreographer in Residence program was created to give Seattle choreographers opportunities to create and experiment, without the financial constraint of paying for rehearsal space. The CIR is required to show work in at least one Velocity program in their year in residence. Additionally, the CIR acts as an advisor for The Bridge Project choreographers, and sits on selection panels for Velocity’s other programs. Past CIR’s have included: Crispin Spaeth (2007), Molly Scott (2008), and Mark Haim (2009).
