The Emerging Choreographers Showcase is devoted to the exhibition of emerging artistic talent as company dancers and choreographers, joined by visiting artists, produce the annual production under the artistic direction of DRDT company member Joshua L. Ishmon.  The showcase creates the opportunity for emerging talent to debut and mature their voice, while simultaneously providing an environment in which established dancers and choreographers are able to experiment in taking their work in new directions. The 2015 showcase will be presented on the 18th of July, with a preview performance of the showcase taking place the weekend of June 26th at the Old Town School of Folk Music.
