All are welcome to this FREE event - no prior dance or movement experience needed. We invite you to come to part of the event or stay for the entire event. To prepare for the event, we suggest you bring a snack and water, wear clothing you can move in, and come with an open mind!

About the (R)evolution Artist Program

We believe the next phase of building a truly sustainable dance ecosystem in San Diego hinges on the integration of young artist voices. The (R)evolution Artist Program is a cohort-style internship focused on experiential learning for San Diego-based rising dance artists. DISCO RIOT provides a small group of Rising Artists (ages 20-26) a curated immersive experience in DISCO RIOT's inner workings for a full programming season (January - October 2026). The program includes dance classes, monthly professional development workshops and cohort meetings, a monthly check-in with a uniquely designated mentor, and a collaborative 10-week S P A C E residency with an opportunity to showcase original work. Additional personalized assignments include performance and event production, administration support, an apprenticeship with Malashock Dance Company, and teaching opportunities.

Over the course of the season, artists develop an understanding of the local performing arts ecosystem, engage with an extended network of dance professionals, local studio spaces and performance venues (i.e. formal theater spaces, black box theaters, community spaces, classrooms, outdoor spaces, etc.), and build relationships with fellow artists. Chosen Rising Artists develop transferable skills essential for a successful career in the arts, including but not limited to speaking and writing about their creative processes, event marketing and promotion, collaborative problem solving, artistic leadership, developing competitive applications, and performance production. Together we build critical skills for a healthy, autonomous, successful career in the field of dance.
