Dance Exchange’s Summer Institute, Module 1

As part of our Organizing Artists for Change initiative, Dance Exchange institutes embrace process and performance, dialogue and dancemaking, and the role of artists as changemakers. Our institutes support reflection and response to important issues and opportunities of our time, and build the capacities and connections for artists to ignite inquiry and inspire change in their own communities. For people of all ages 18 and older, Dance Exchange offers multiple opportunities to bring ideas into action through two modules of our Summer Institute. 

Join participants from across the globe to gather and grow during Module 1 as movers, makers, collaborators, and leaders. Work with Associate Artistic Director Matthew Cumbie, alongside other Dance Exchange artists and alumni, as we experience daily movement classes and share tools and practices for researching, generating, and making artwork and action. We will use the four questions central to the work of Dance Exchange to collectively vision the future of the socially engaged artist.
