DANCE. PLAY. SPACE. NYC ⚠️

In a room capped at 30 participants, dancers are given the opportunity to explore movement in a non-competitive, yet highly motivated dance environment. For only a flat rate of five dollars, The Playground allows the dancer to freely experience each choreographer’s styles and ideas, engage with a new community of dancers, and gather resourceful information and inspiration from the plethora of chor

eographers involved. The Playground provides choreographers with free space to manifest their thoughts onto bodies, refine their teaching methods on trained professionals, and establish relationships with new dancers, fellow choreographers, and prominent presenters. Arranged is the occasion to scope out New York’s most emerging and explosive talent in an unconventional setting. In this situation, presenters are able to study the personalities of whom they commission instead of just the final product.

Join Boca Tuya’s first Company Intensive — a 5-day immersive experience led by Artistic Director Omar Román de Jesús. Train alongside company artists while exploring the physicality, musicality, and emotional depth that define Boca Tuya’s distinctive movement language.
Central to Omar’s process is the creation of surreal characters and cinematic worlds. Through guided exercises, dancers will transform physical choices into narrative presence, investigating how gesture, rhythm, and imagination shape characters that feel both theatrical and deeply human. Participants will explore how movement, environment, and atmosphere interact to build layered emotional landscapes.
More than a workshop, this intensive is a collaborative creative space where Omar will develop new material with participants, inviting dancers directly into his choreographic process while encouraging curiosity, risk-taking, and personal interpretation. The environment is intimate and focused, fostering meaningful exchange and an opportunity to engage with the Boca Tuya community.
