Caitlin Morgan, 2024 ChoreoLab resident
Get ready to be moved! Two ChoreoLab Performances June 27th and 28th
This year four ChoreoLab residents unveil the groundbreaking new works they’ve created during their intensive eight-week residencies! Witness the culmination of their artistic journeys, honed in the inspiring spaces of The Barn in Corinth, VT, Friday June 27th at 7pm and Saturday June 28th at 3pm.
But that’s not all – the evening will also feature performances by two Vermont guest artists: Toby MacNutt and Elizabeth Kurylo.
Join Toby at noon before the June 28th performance for a free workshop. Toby will teach “The Art of Translation“
How do you share movement with bodies very different from yours? Come learn strategies for movement translation & adaptation, and put them into practice learning some of Toby’s solo crutch choreography. All bodies welcome, no experience required, only a willingness to try.
Performance and Workshop are sponsored by The Junction Dance Festival with a grant from the Joyful Living Fund a grant program from the Vermont Community Foundation. This is more than just a performance; it’s a vibrant celebration of creativity, innovation, and the raw power of dance. You won’t want to miss it!
Toby MacNutt (they/them) is a nonbinary trans, disabled artist, author, and teacher living in Addison County. They have danced, taught, or choreographed in various settings locally and nationally. Toby’s current work-in-progress A Singular They presents a mosaic self-portrait of a consistent self in a body under constant change. The work has been reshaped by the covid-19 pandemic and will be coming to film in the near future. Past shows include evening-length show One, Two, mixed media installation Enter the Void, and collaborative works. For more, see www.tobymacnutt.com or say hi on instagram to @tobymacnutt.

Elizabeth Kurylo is a dancer and choreographer based in Vermont. Making dance has been a passion of mine for many years. My choreographies are built in close collaboration with the dancers. For me dancers are not mere instruments. they are my inspiration, my motivation, and they are the intrinsic energy of a new piece. My work is eclectic and does not reflect a single dance style. I like to use all choreographic tools available to me and to the dancers. Foolow my work at babettekurylo.com
Elizabeth is the founder and director of the Junction Dance Festival
