Verve features COCA’s Pre-Professional Division dance companies, COCAdance and Ballet Eclectica. This production is the culmination of their work across the season—highlighting their versatility as they present 12 dance works across three different programs. In preparation for this concert, COCA pre-professional artists experience creative development residencies with renowned guest artists from around the world. These professional artists mount new works and collaborate with COCA’s production team to fully realize each piece.
Verve guest choreographers include Julien Guérin, Thang Dao, Mark Caserta, and Da’Von Doane. In addition, Verve showcases new works choreographed by COCA faculty—Kirven Douthit-Boyd, Carrie Fernandez, Ashley Hamann, Carly Vanderheyden, and Sam Gaitsch.
This performance weekend is also a celebration for COCA’s graduating class. On opening night, Friday, May 9, graduating seniors will perform a solo piece and share their senior statements, including their college or post-secondary training plans.
