SUMMARY:Whim W'him: Fall '25
DESCRIPTION:Whim W’Him’s annual Fall Choreographic Shindig invites our company dancers to take the curatorial lead. Each year\, they select three choreographers from a highly competitive pool of international applicants\, creating a program that reflects their unique artistic perspectives and priorities. \nThis Shindig’s lineup features Chloe Crenshaw\, Genna Moroni\, and Lea Ved – three choreographers with distinct voices and powerful visions. Chloe shapes dreamlike terrain with precision and depth\, blending emotional nuance with sharp structural clarity. Genna’s work emerges from instinct and immediacy\, blending cinematic presence with deeply personal movement. At once intimate and expansive\, Lea’s work emerges from rigorous physical inquiry that invites vulnerability and transformation. Together\, these artists bring a compelling range of vocabularies and relevant meaning to the stage. \nJoin us for our special Sunday matinee on September 14\, hosted by our favorite queen of charm and cheek\, Betty Wetter\, back to stir things up with her signature wit and warmth.
