QUILL COLLECTIVE
MODERN STORYTELLERS
Quill Collective is a program founded by Carlo Atienza that focuses on the creative process and artist identity. With a combination of guest teachers, performance opportunities, and one-on-one mentorship, dancers within the program can expect to gain a better understanding of what it means to create meaningful and effective movement while also working on the quality of their own execution and performance.
Quill is intended for the artists and movers that want to take their craft to the next level. In order to build longevity in our careers as choreographers and dancers, we need to understand what makes us unique in our art and how to effectively share that with the world. By providing in-depth lessons on creating, staging, leading and performing, members of Quill will not only succeed in doing this, but they will also find a new appreciation for all aspects of the art of dance.
Quill Collective is divided into 3 types of members:
