Why This Residency Mattered

• New Creation: Choreographer Jacquelyn Long created a full new work—her first set on dancers outside Houston Ballet and her first to an original commissioned score by Katie Jenkins.

• Live Music at the Center: Musicians Joshua Mhoon (piano) and Julia Choi (violin) were embedded throughout the process, shaping the work in real time.

• Access & Education: From Steps on Broadway Academy masterclasses to NY Film Academy student filmmakers embedded in rehearsals, the residency centered learning, mentorship, and access.

• Artist-Centered Model: Pointeworks prioritized fair pay, live music, and pay-what-you-can access

Community Impact

The residency deepened relationships and built new ones—welcoming first-time donors, re-engaging returning patrons, and strengthening partnerships. A Dance Dialogue panel—featuring eight women choreographers, composers, directors, and guests from Dance Data Project—sparked an impactful conversation on today’s dance landscape. Studio-based experiences once again proved to be our most meaningful bridge between artists and audiences.
