The fall season of RE-PLAY will feature the return of LajaMartin’s The Bunker, a physically theatrical and witty dance theater satire about six people stuck in a research study for five years. The Company will also premiere Monica Bill Barnes’s Wish You Were Here, featuring guest dancers from multiple Utah universities. This piece portrays a partner dance without a partner, with dancers gesturing and swirling imaginary partners. The program will conclude with a world premiere by Company Artistic Director Daniel Charon.

Our Meet the Choreographer Series is a unique opportunity to engage in conversation about the dance making process. Go behind the scenes with the internationally-renowned commissioned artists that are brought here to Salt Lake City to create brand new work for the company. This is a special chance to converse with these artists and the Ririe-Woodbury Company Dancers on their process and experiences. These open rehearsals, showings and moderated discussions endeavor to empower and educate by shedding light on what goes on in an artist’s mind during a creative period.

Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company is pleased to announce the inaugural CHOREOGRAPHIC CANVAS. This new annual series seeks to identify and select a choreographer to commission a new dance work. Choreographers are invited to submit an application for review and selection by a panel of esteemed dance professionals. This new work will be premiered as part of Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company’s regular performing season. 

The Company is committed to maintaining an inclusive work environment and actively embraces a diversity of people, ideas, talents, and experiences. We highly encourage people of all identities and backgrounds to apply.
