From first ideas in the studio to fully realized performances on stage, these dancers brought their visions to life with so much intention, heart, and courage.
Artists in the Making is more than a performance. It’s a space for our dancers to discover their voices, take creative risks, and learn the collaborative process behind choreography through the Composition Program directed by Lauren Smith.
We are so proud of every choreographer, dancer, and artist who made this show possible. Thank you to everyone who came out to support the next generation of creators. 💫

One of the most important parts of a @phish show is DANCING...whether you're an ultra-funky disco queen, or an old fogey doing the hippie shimmy, everybody dances like no one's watching the whole time...shoot, even @andylohr gets down. And no one ever says "down in front."
@stepspdx dance studio has been Andy's kids' favorite place on Earth for the last 7 years. So, we invited the Steps hip-hop crew to show the Phishheads how it's really done. Reuben, Sasha, Taylor and Bella (and maybe more) will be invading the dance floor to jump start the dance party.
