During this year’s 2021 MIP2® summer program, dancers were encouraged to take risks and explore their unique creative voice. Students from all over the country worked with acclaimed faculty including Francois Perron, Kiley Dolaway, Nicole Von Arx, and Sean Lammer. The program provides multiple methods of research in improvisation, process, floorwork, and partnering. MIP2® inspires dancers to further explore their individual voice within these methods.

 “We had time to explore who we are as artists and to grow that image of ourselves further” - Anna Lopez, 2021 MIP2® Dancer - George Mason University
“Dancers from the top dance schools and universities made connections with their peers during a weekly “en masse” improv crash. They were able to utilize and share their unique approaches to improvisation together in our spacious studios. The students were guided by the guest artist teachers through structured improvisations and focused on collaborative process, which is a necessary skill needed in today’s professional world. ”- says MIP® Program Director, Nancy Turano.
When asked about MIP2® Anna Lopez from George Mason University responded, “We had  time to explore who we are as artists and to grow that image of ourselves further”.

MIP2® dancer Sydney Heldman of Visceral Dance Chicago said, “In the future I will be taking more risks in my dancing. Learning such challenging ways of moving has improved my confidence and shown me that I can do anything I put my mind to.”
