NINE MOONS -&nbsp;Rehearsal &amp; Class &amp; Performance ProjectSeptember 2026 - May 2027 YOU ARE INVITED TO JOIN award winning choreographer Vanessa Anspaugh for a nine-month creative process that is part class, part rehearsal, and part performance project. Designed for performers, movers, choreographers, and curious beginners alike, this intimate ensemble experience offers a deep dive into collaborative dance-making.&nbsp; Rather than focusing on technique alone, participants explore choreographic process, creative research, improvisation, and performance, gaining insight into how and why a work is made. Together, the ensemble will develop a new evening-length performance that premieres in May 2027 in Northampton, then touring to a variety of nontraditional sites including galleries, barns, meadows, parking lots, and other public spaces. Seeking performers of all backgrounds and experience levels who bring curiosity, generosity, and a commitment to collaborative process.All bodies. All gender expressions. All ages welcome.
