Experience the power and potential of intergenerational artmaking during Dance Exchange’s hybrid in-studio and online 2022 Organizing with Artists for Change (OAC) Winter Institute.
Join movers, makers, artists, and leaders from communities near and far to explore tools and practices for dancing, collaborating, and creating across generations. This Institute explores intergenerational collaboration through Dance Exchange’s creative tools and practices and introduces participants to artists and collaborators connected to our Dance On creative aging program and our ongoing project, Of Equal Place: Isotopes in Motion.
As part of our Organizing with Artists for Change Initiative (OAC), Dance Exchange Institutes embrace process and performance, dialogue and dancemaking, and the role of artists as changemakers. The 2022 OAC Winter Institute will include movement classes and workshops that delve into creative tools and practices from Dance Exchange as well as our peers and collaborators. Facilitation of the 2022 OAC Winter Institute will rotate each day to include a range of voices and perspectives including Dance Exchange staff and partnering artists.
This Winter Institute offers two tracks:
In-studio at our Community and Creative Hub in Takoma Park
Online from your home or studio space
Registration Fee: $100
We recognize this is a challenging financial time for those in the arts and related fields. If price is a barrier to your participation, please email registration@danceexchange.org for a sliding scale option.
Shula Strassfeld Memorial Scholarship
Each year, we award a scholarship to a Winter Institute participant in honor of Shula, a longtime DX company member, loving mother, devoted friend, and always an advocate that everyone dance as much as possible. This full-tuition scholarship, generously funded by Cultural Pluralism in the Arts Movement Ontario, is awarded to a participant who mirrors Shula's dedication to creative aging and/or who shares a connection to her Jewish identity, which played a significant role in her creative practice. Register for Winter Institute by Dec. 15 to be considered for the scholarship.
