The 2026 ETD New Choreographer Grant Concert is a two-show performance date. Each show will feature original works created by these three grant recipients and an excerpt of a new ETD Rep work, followed by an engaging Q&A. The ETD New Choreographer Grant empowers choreographers to create original 10-15 minute pieces. Grant panelists review applications and select recipients based on merit, dance experience, passion, and innovation.

The ETD New Choreographer Grant is made possible by the Marta Heflin Foundation.
