Starting in January, Focus Group offers programming for students in their final 2 years of MO to further develop their own practice and amplify the practicum to match professional process. Activity is planned in collaboration with the students and designed to support their individual interests and needs. They prioritize their resources, drive their own process, bring their questions together for peer research, facilitate their own works-in-progress showings and feedback, and select their own mentors. This season, our Focus Group students have chosen to show their own choreography and a selection of repertoire to an invited audience.

Focus Group 2023 is Alesandra, Samantha Buss, Kaitlin Cheung, Emily Clarke, Madeleine Cruz, Julian Hunt, Abby Hunter, Bridget Lee, Kluane Peabody, Jamie Ranney, Nikki Schenk, Allie Shiff, Audrey Sides, Yuha Tomita, Bennett Tracz, Kaya Tsurumi, Emma Wallace, and Elizabeth Yip.
