Berkshire Pulse: Young Choreographers’ Initiative and Workshop Performance

Sat, May 10

at 2:00pm & 6:00pm

Berkshire Pulse invites you to an evening of innovative & inspired dance created and performed by the 2024/2025 members of the Berkshire Pulse Young Choreographers Workshop and Young Choreographers Initiative.

Young Choreographers Workshop (YCW) and Initiative (YCI) were established in 2016 as a platform for students, ages 12-21, to create works that give voice to the issues affecting their generation, connect with community members outside of Pulse, and address important topics such as anxiety, body image, isolation, and joy.

This program is a fundraiser for our Diane Pearlman Young Choreographers Initiative Scholarship.

Launched in 2023, this scholarship underwrites the Young Choreographers Initiative tuition for all students, as well as the senior choreography project, providing graduating dancers with the studio space, professional mentorship, and production support needed for the senior solo creative process. Choreographic exploration and process is an essential component of the Pulse Youth Performing Arts Program curriculum, incorporated into classwork beginning at age 6 and continuing with increasing intention as students progress throughout the levels.

This program is supported in part by a grant from the West Stockbridge Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
