The Legacy Project
​This year we are embarking on a Legacy Project - creating a film that looks back at how we have impacted our community by serving as a lab for emerging choreographers, building collaborations with other artists, and expanding our audiences across communities and generations.
See CCP Dance on Video
Since March 2020, we have continued teaching, choreographing, and creating despite cancelling our in-person concerts and moving our in-person classes and rehearsals to the safety of the outdoors and the virtual world.

"A YEAR OF PERSISTENCE"
​by Mary Jo Smet
Mary Jo has taken CCP's digital efforts further than we imagined when we started our digital dance series over a year ago.  She developed the dance concept, choreographed the dance phrases, edited the videos, and has created a dance that is truly reflective of the past year.

"ALIEN INVASION"
A dance restaged via Zoom
​by Leigh Arscott
In Spring 2020, CCP was poised to perform a five-part science fiction themed dance, but our rehearsals and performance had to be canceled for everyone's health and safety.  Months later, we wondered if one of the sci-fi vignettes, an alien invasion, could be re-staged on Zoom. Here are the results - we hope you enjoy!
