This year's winners—Karley Childress, Roderick George, Shota Miyoshi, Alejandro Perez, and Keelan Whitmore—each will choreograph an original work created for the Grainger Academy of The Joffrey Ballet Conservatory, Trainees, and Joffrey Studio Company. With an added performance due to popular demand, Winning Works will be presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago’s Edlis Neeson Theater in nine performances.
