After the choreographers are selected, NCI will have a casting call for dancers. Amidst the current uncertainty, NCI stays hopeful that its summertime project will continue as planned. Mark your calendar for the showing on Saturday, July 30!

Artistic Director Molly Lynch explains her reason for creating NCI:

"NCI is a unique collaboration. The choreographers have the ultimate freedom to create and experiment, and the non-commissioned and non-competitive setting encourages them to grow and further develop their artistic vision. The dancers also benefit greatly from the creative process. At the end, there is a dance creation that's not predetermined - it's the heart of their artistic expression, and it is energizing! - Molly Lynch, Artistic Director of NCI
