The 940 Dance Company, the Lawrence Arts Center’s professional, touring dance company, has been selected to be a part of the Studio Residency Program by the Charlotte Street Foundation. The dance company was awarded studio space at City Center Square in downtown Kansas City, where they will rehearse one day a week.
The Charlotte Street Fund selects visual artists and performing artists to inhabit a floor at City Center Square for one year, to encourage collaboration among artists and to support artistic excellence. This year, the organization received more applications than ever, making the selection process very competitive. “This is a wonderful honor and opens up many collaborative possibilities for the 940 Dance Company, as well as greater visibility,” said Susan Rieger, Artistic Director of 940 Dance Company. In addition to rehearsals, the company will also perform as part of the Third Friday Open Studios beginning on October 15.
The 940 Dance Company is comprised of six dancers for the 2010-2011 season: returning members Jennifer Flynn, Bobbi Foudree, Eric Tedder, and Ashley Trullinger and apprentices Justin Hundley and Michaela Sherman. The season opens with performances on October 8 and 9 at the Lawrence Arts Center. Call 785-843-2787 for ticket information.
