BROOKLYN, N.Y. - Dec. 7, 2017 - PRLog -- RestorationART presents the ChoreoQuest-in-Residency Application for 2018 opportunities.

The deadline for submission is December 15^th.

"Art is a way to reflect, engage in, and document cultural activities. We come together in a communal way – humans growing together," said Nathan Trice, Co-Director of RestorationART's ChoreoQuest Program.  "ChoreoQuest fills a critical niche of the dance ecosystem in New York City, providing emerging and accomplished choreographers the opportunity to create, develop and present new works, while also grooming the next generation of youth in African-American dance traditions.  We are trying to restore what has been broken in communities, specifically African-American communities."
