“I really cannot express how valuable and transformative this year in the CHIME exchange has been for me and what it has meant in my development as a choreographer. It has given me deeper respect for my own learning and growing process as an artist, and hope that we can have more funding in this country that supports artists for what they can become as well as for what they have done.”

– Amara Tabor-Smith, Mentee 2007

– Keith Hennessy, Mentor 2007
