The flagship of The Bell House is EXCHANGE CHOREOGRAPHY FESTIVAL. This year the festival will center a weekend program of curated DANCE FOR CAMERA workshops and events.  There are also networking events designed to foster dialogue pivoting around discussions to support, explore and inform the artists' process.

EXCHANGE will offer an ONLINE Dance for Camera teaching format this year, in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Please visit frequently to keep posted with updates or

Due to the nature of the festival, there will be two forms of participation. The Artist Fellow track involves participation in the form of discussion and question and answer sessions and sharing of creations throughout. The Artist Audit track allows the participant to simply watch the festival without further interaction. Recordings of the workshops will be available for up to a month after the scheduled festival weekend, July 30-31, 2021.   More info on the workshop weekend, click here.

Pricing:
- Fellow (limited enrollment) - $50 for all workshops, resource packet, artist contact list & interactive experience with faculty
- Audit (non-interactive) - $30 for all workshops
- Group viewing - $100 (host a watch party of your own and share the experience!)

What Festival Participants Have to Say about Exchange: 

"I had a wonderful experience during Exchange, even before the event itself! The communication - through email - was efficient and timely and it was clear to me that the event was being produced by a team of knowledgeable and experienced professionals. During the event, there was an environment for genuine exchange and artists from different backgrounds, ages, histories found a space to show their work and improve together. The site-specific improvisation was one of my favorite moments, when we could dance and move together."

“To my wonderful dancers, you were fierce tonight and I am so grateful to have experienced this with each of you. What an education. And to the beautiful Rachel Bruce Johnson, thank you for the opportunity you give to the art community to share, collaborate, and process with each other. It makes me want to never stop learning.”

"Having been on the administrative end for several events – I was in awe of your composure and preparedness.This was a HUUUUGE event to pull off. 

It’s a great thing that you’ve started, I really think that there are possibilities to help promote it, because more people from Tulsa should have been there! The classes I took were great.  The Reverb performance on Friday was well produced. And I so enjoyed hanging out with the guests. Thank you for dinner on Sunday – it was a nice time to socialize.  

Well done Rachel. Well done!
