ABOUT CHIME
Founded in 2004 by the MJDC Artistic Director Margaret Jenkins, CHIME seeks to formalize the exchange and feedback mechanisms between established and emerging California choreographers. Based on the core beliefs that open communication between choreographers of different generations is vital to the health of the field, and that artists should be fairly compensated for their work, CHIME in Southern California provides significant support to established and emerging choreographers working together in mentorship relationships for six months, that includes, but is not limited to, work in the studio.
