Join us in the studio for a working rehearsal with choreographer Dimitri Chamblas as he sets his section of City of Dance on the L.A. Dance Project dancers. These sessions offer audiences a rare opportunity to observe the artists at work, revealing the collaborative process behind this citywide project. Each rehearsal reflects the piece in progress and may include pauses, adjustments, and conversation as movement and structure take shape. A brief Q&A with the choreographer follows each session, offering insight into their artistic approach and their contribution to City of Dance.
