Back from a break! Thank you to everyone who supported New Works 2021 - our first ever livestream premiere. Having an international audience was so wonderful. . Congratulations to Maggie Bridger and Rahila Coats, and huge thanks to their mentors Bryan Saner and Jenn Freeman/Po’Chop. Special thanks to discussion moderators Alison Kopit and Abra Johnson, and to Chicago Dance History Project for all of the video support. . New Works 2021 was so successful because of these beautiful people and because of our hardworking staffers Rachel Damon, Megan Rhyme, and Molly Hillson, interns Jacob Buerger, Mickey Huang, and Dylan Roth, and support from Tim Tsang. . #SynapseArts #ChiDance #ChicagoDanceCommunity #SynapseNewWorks #NewWorks2021 #WorksInProgress #ModernMovers .
