SUPA (Studio Upsun* in Pennsylvania) is an initiative designed to provide opportunities during the summer to engage in in-depth investigations of choreographic practices. The SUPA workshops are a place for intensive study of contemporary choreographic methods and modes of making with some of the most influential and challenging artists working today. Each week-long SUPA session is designed to expose, challenge and refine the participants’ beliefs about choreography and the medium of movement.

SUPA aims to stimulate and offer opportunities for sustained and meaningful engagement by investigating choreography itself and its relation to teaching and other fields of endeavor. The SUPA faculty consists of rigorous choreographers of note who are interested in teaching and its relationship to making. Each workshop is limited to 10 people to ensure a dynamic artistic community and maximize opportunities for close, detailed feedback.

SUPA is located on the campus of Wilson College. For directions to campus, click here. Trains run to Harrisburg, PA, and participants can pre-arrange a ride on the scheduled Sunday afternoon SUPA shuttle to campus. Workshop participants are housed in the campus dormitories; cooking facilities are available.
