One of the larger components of the leadership program is the newly developed choreographer support team (CST). This team includes Wojciech Mochniej, Melissa Monteros, Leslie Chandler, Tanis Baer and any emerging choreographers contracted to work with either the Surge or W&M2 companies.
The program is designed to support choreographers at a level and depth that matches their experience, skill set and associated needs. It is anticipated that emerging choreographers will require more hands-on assistance, especially considering the limited number of creation hours and resulting intensity required to prepare a work for performance.
