Since 1997, SpectorDance’s Choreographer’s Showcase has presented over 450 choreographers from around the globe. It features new works that reflect the diversity and vitality of dance as a contemporary artform and provides opportunities for audiences to see and dancemakers to present their original, cutting-edge works. We are proud to announce that the 2023 Choreographer’s Showcase will take place on October 7 & 8, 2023 at the historic Forest Theater. Built in 1910 in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea, the outdoor Forest Theater is a 540-seat amphitheater that is nestled in the woods. The stage is framed by towering pines and huge open fireplaces, providing a majestic backdrop for performers and a once-in-a-lifetime experience for audiences. We could not be more thrilled to continue last year’s theme of Dance That Makes A Difference at this new, magical setting. SpectorDance’s Choreographer’s Showcase will celebrate the power of dance to inform, promote dialogue, and be a galvanizing vehicle for change.

In 2023, we are introducing several options for artists and audiences, including:

• On the afternoon of Friday, October 6, we will offer a free performance for school age local youth. This extra performance will bring dance to many in our local community who otherwise might not have this kind of exposure. If your school or class is interested in attending this free event, please contact events@spectordance.org. 
• Housing for guest artists may be available with local families. For more information, contact franspector5@gmail.com
• One or two choreographers will be selected to offer a masterclass in any dance style for the community over the showcase weekend.
