(Em)Brave SEASON

The 24-25 STLDT Trainee Program is proud to present our (Em)Brave Season. This season we strive to amplify artistic voices through original repertoire created by an esteemed roster of local and national choreographers. Experience the magic of live performance as we commit to:

(Em)Brace our community through personal connection and multidisciplinary collaboration

(Em)Body our artistic values united by the strength of individuality

(Em)Power the future through our continued investment in education 

We are excited to introduce four guest artists as part of the (Em)Brave Season—Jorrell Lawyer-Jefferson, Hui Chas Poos, Carly Vanderheyden, and Avree Walker, as well as works by STLDT Artistic Director Kirven Douthit-Boyd and Director of Education Brandon Fink. We will round out our season with the return of Joshua L. Peugh’s spellbinding evening-length work, My Dear Watson on May 30-31 in the company’s (RE)Fine Spring Concert.

Join us in celebrating a triumphant return to our company’s roots as the STLDT Trainees inspire innovation supported by their passion for performance!
