It runs 6–10 January at Lanterns Studio Theatre in east London, where Devernay-Laurence and a team of 12 will host classes and workshops for up to 60 professional and aspiring professional dancers and choreographers with the intention of providing a start-to-finish career development plan.
Devernay-Laurence explained, “attendees will be able to take class with a professional teacher, meet choreographers and learn new work, book one-to-one clinics to discuss career opportunities and advancement, learn about union representation through Equity’s dance division and meet our video and filmmaking team who will be on hand to advise and create visual content for portfolios.”
