Students at Dance HUB will be able to take daily technique and creative classes, work with international artists weekly to learn new choreography, attend dance performances, and immerse themselves in vibrant Italian culture, all through the lens of social justice. Students who are interested in choreographing have the opportunity to apply for ChoreoLAB, where they will be able to create work on their fellow peers in the program and collaborate with composer-in-residence Mal Stein on an original score for the piece.

After spending one week soaking up the rich history of Florence, the group will travel together down to the city of Agropoli on the Cilento Coast. The final two weeks of the intensive will be hosted by ExOrto Danza, directed by choreographer Piero Leccese. His dance school is dedicated to all artistic expressions. A center for training, promotion and support of theater, dance, and movement; it shares WADE’s focus on collaboration and artistic experimentation.

Participants will be able to attend exclusive lectures and screenings in coordination with the Agropoli Danza Festival, surrounding the topic of gender-based violence and discrimination through art and conversation. The focus of this festival is to work towards the elimination of violence against women. The Agropoli Danza festival 2023 will be held as a site-specific itinerant journey around the historic medieval and breathtaking natural sites of Agropoli. The dancers will perform original choreographies created during the three week residencies by the guest artists, student choreographers, and by artistic director Giada Matteini.
