Our Friends at Tulsa Modern Movement wrote this nice shout out to us for EXCHANGE! 

--------------------------------------------------------

The Exchange Choreography Festival, by our friends at The Bell House, is coming up this August. We think you would enjoy it.

Since 2009, The Exchange Choreography Festival has been Tulsa's only adjudicated contemporary dance festival. Exchange provides a platform for artists at various stages in their careers to showcase their work and make a place for the broader community to engage with dance on a deeper level. The 2017 Featured Artist is Bill Wade, Jr., Artistic Director of Inlet Dance Theatre, who will lead the ART Talk/Q&A and a choreography workshop.

The featured performance of the Gala concert is an excerpt by Inlet's Dominic Moore-Dunson, The "Black Card" Project. By combining dance and comedy, Dominic tackles the issue of racial self-perception and identity by examining the African American idea of the "black card" in order to facilitate an intergenerational conversation about the past, present, and future of racial identity and economic development. Dominic will be joined in performance by Inlet company member Kevin Parker during the Saturday night Gala concert.

Over the course of the festival's informal showings, twenty-three works from various artists and communities will be presented. Out of those performances, three will be awarded "Best of the Fest" and granted a second performance in the Gala. During the concert, audiences will also enjoy several short films on the process of creation and dance as an art form.

The process of moving should be hassle free. To guarantee this, you should only hire the best moving company to help you out. They will provide all types of moving services and to any destination you want even internationally. When you are making a choice as to which company to use, you have to know how to choose wisely.

    It is a simple philosophy here at THE BELL HOUSE; make connections by bringing people together through dance. Art that seeks to defy a fractured view of the world by creating culture that cares for the soul and is concerned with human thriving.  For me, it isn’t enough to just make dance for dance’s sake; it is my belief that it is the connective power of people that makes art worth engaging.  We do that by taking our interests and talents and challenging the ways we connect them to something tangible in the human experience.  It is through these connections and tangibilities that we see the true power of art and dance manifest back to relationships with and through people.  In my view, what matters is people; the time and space of making work refract and overlap revealing and creating new possibilities for human connection. 

    ~ Rachel Bruce Johnson, Executive & Artistic Director
