Trey McIntyre Project Collaborates with Local Artists in Innovative Dance Initiative

The Trey McIntyre Project (TMP), a contemporary ballet company based in Boise, Idaho, launched an innovative collaboration with local artists and creatives.

For their "9+1 project," TMP invited twelve local artists to create "portraits" of company members in their chosen media. These creative collaborators included chocolate makers, photographers, glassmakers, painters, songwriters, specialty bookmakers, bartenders, poets and others.

Each of the artists was given free reign to imagine the meaning of "portrait" in any way they wished, which led to many approaches and interpretations. As you'll see as you browse the following links, some of these works are available for sale as well:

- View artists and their creations for this project.

- View individual dancers and the works created for each of them.

The following video offers an introduction to all of the participating artists in the 9+1 Project:
