Dance Exchange 2017 Winter Institute

As part of their Organizing Artists for Change initiative, Dance Exchange Institutes emphasize process and performance, dialogue and dancemaking, and the role of artists as changemakers through innovative creative practices and dancemaking. Participants from the local region and across the globe will gather as leaders, innovators, movers and thinkers. Anyone 18+ years of age is welcome and encouraged to join this intergenerational experience.

This institute will contribute to the research and development of Growing Our Own Gardens, a Dance Exchange project conceived and directed by Associate Artistic Director Matthew Cumbie. Join artists and local activists to weave together performance and dialogue to explore queer world-making as an intersectional and coalition-building framework and to collaboratively create the worlds we need. Share creative practices, analyze the movement in your social change efforts, and bring ideas into action across generation and difference.
