CU Contemporary Dance Works (CUCDW) provides a week-long dance and creativity residency for a Colorado community that has been underserved in the arts. New in 2022, the in-person residency will be temporarily replaced by preparatory virtual programming to strengthen relationships and increase opportunities for community engagement.
CUCDW offers formal and informal performances, movement classes, participatory and creative workshops, and experiences in devising and performing new dances with community members of all ages. CUCDW is composed of MFA graduate students in Dance. This year, they will continue their work with teens from the Paonia Experiential Leadership Academy in Delta County. Virtual programming will occur between October 2022 and April 2023. The in-person residency will return post-COVID.
