Choreolab started at The Walden School in the 1980’s and was further developed as a student-led and directed experience by the work of Laurie Roth and Kirstin Been Spielman at Trevor Day School in New York City where the annual dance extravaganza is a highpoint of the school year.
Our CS teacher/ dancer/ choreographer -Jessie Levey – performed in those original Choreolabs as a student in NYC.
This spring she brought the Choreolab experience to PDS and it was glorious.
