2024 Lake Placid Residency
September 9-29, 2024
Parsons Dance returned to Lake Placid Center for the Arts (LCPA) for its fourth residency at this stunning venue located in the Adirondack Park of Northern New York. While in residency, our dancers worked with gifted choreographer Rena Butler in creating a new work set to a soundscape by Darryl J. Hoffman. They also led in-person and digital classes, along with workshops geared towards teaching the Parsons approach to contemporary dance. All workshops and open rehearsals were free and available to everyone, with all experience levels welcome. In addition, the company staged a public performance that included beloved repertory pieces and recently created works from the Parsons repertory. Also on the roster was a special in-creation showing of Butler and Hoffman’s piece.
We are incredibly grateful to the Lake Placid community for welcoming us here and for giving us the opportunity to accomplish so much!
Parson Dance’s residency at Lake Placid Center for the Arts is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
