The 2018 EXCHANGE Choreography Festival provides a meeting point for professional dancers to showcase their choreographic work and engage in dialogue about process.

All works submitted will perform in the Tulsa Performing Arts Center’s Liddy Doenges blackbox distilled to space and work lighting for a series of festival showings.  Following the informal performances, artists are invited to join a round table discussion about ideas and ways of working as well as partake in many opportunities to network with other artists. All Presenting Artists potentially leave the festival with professional quality photos and video of your performance. ​
 
The Exchange Festival is partnering with Choregus’ Summer Heat International Dance Festival adding to the weekend performances and special events with David Parsons, Doug Varone, and Yuan Yuan Wang and the Beijing Dance Theater as well as presenting a cooperative schedule with the Parsons Dance Intensive, July 25-31, so that artists may participate fully in both festivals.  For more information on the Summer Heat International Dance Festival, go to the Choregus website.

EXCHANGE Choreography Festival's mission to facilitate collaboration of
ideas and people in the choreographic process. It is our belief that people furthering dance for dances’ sake is not enough. Dance should further people and relationships between people, therefore
fueling the generative nature of ideas.
