The ChoreoJoey Project began as a challenge to its founder, Stephen Hill, to create and present innovative, site specific work with dancers on any level in Brooklyn, NY on May 2014. It often invokes the creative efforts of a rotating team of artists, musicians, and dance educators to display a high vector of integrated mixed media dance performance, along the likes of Alwin Nikolais and Merce Cunningham. the work developed through the ChoreoJoey Project explore themes of decided by its collaborators and contributors based on sociopolitical and historical references within the African American community.

pronounced CO-RE-AAHH-JOEY,  the company's name is coined, choreo- from the word choreography, and Joey from the nickname of its founder.

The repertoire is expansive. Instead of set performances during the seasons, the ChoreoJoey Project selects particular festivals and new venues. We never repeat performances through out the seasion to ensure we are holding true to the vision of creating innovate, site specific choreography. The ChoreoJoey Project auditions on a project need basis.

ChoreoJoey Started in New York City through its residency at the 92Y as a part of the Harkness Dance Center's space Grant Project.  Since its inception has collaborated with artists nationwide, as well as with dancers and musicans from Germany, Haiti, Trinidad, and Ecuador.
