We are thrilled to announce that Madison McGain will be our Spring SEED Residency choreographer this month. Born and raised on Maui, Madison has been part of the Adaptations Dance Theater family as a guest dance artist since 2019. This residency marks a beautiful full-circle moment — her first choreographic project with ADT.
Come meet Madi and our dance artists, and get a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process! This is a wonderful opportunity to experience the work in process, ask questions, and support new dance being made right here at home.
We hope to see you there as we celebrate Madi’s first creation with ADT and continue nurturing local artists with global voices.
