LINK Choreographer Residency

The LINK Choreographer Residency supports choreographers in their creative work while connecting them with communities across Northeast Ohio, linking the artistic landscapes of Akron and Cleveland. By placing artists at the center, LINK helps cultivate a sustainable dance ecosystem, one where choreographers can thrive, communities stay engaged, and the creative corridor between Akron and Cleveland continues to grow.
