“Adrienne worked with our students to challenge and inspire them as they created the work together. Her clarity and sensitivity were appreciated by the students. Through sharing the creative process, the dancers became engaged and discovered new ways of moving and creating that has impacted our students as they have gone on to create their work.”

Melinda Blomquist, formerly University of Texas Pan American

Working with ClancyWorks to
Design Your Residency Program

We recognize and respect the unique characteristics of each college and university dance community. Our first step in planning a ClancyWorks dance residency is to collaborate with you to design a program aligned with the specific values, needs, and learning goals of your students. Unlimited options are available, but examples of some successful residency models include:

• Choreographic commissions tailored to your students’ technique level and interests
• Company performances
• Half-day or full-day workshops
• Multiple day master class series
• Week-long residencies that can be designed to integrate community outreach

“I was particularly grateful for Adrienne’s highly refined ability to teach our dancers partnering skills. She has a clear, well considered methodology for communicating the foundational principles of weight sharing.”

Kate Trammell, James Madison University
