Dance Exchange

Dance Exchange

Description

Dance Exchange is a Takoma Park, MD-based non-profit arts organization committed to unearthing and exploring the questions at the center of our lives, using dancemaking and creative practices that engage individuals and communities of all ages. 

Celebrating 20 years in our home in Takoma Park, MD and Montgomery County in 2017-18!  

Founded in 1976 by Liz Lerman and under the artistic direction of Cassie Meador since 2011, Dance Exchange creates dances by asking four questions: Who gets to dance? Where is the dance happening? What is it about? Why does it matter? 

We are an intergenerational company of artists that creates dance and engages people in making art. We serve as an incubator for creative research, bringing ideas to action through collaborations that range from experts in the field of dance to unexpected movers and makers. Through these exchanges we stretch the boundaries between the studio, stage, and other environments to make dances that are rooted in the particularity of people and place. Through local, national, international, and online projects we gather and create community to contribute to a healthy and more sustainable environment.  

Recent and current projects include explorations of human rights, nuclear physics, ecology, human-environmental interactions, and the advancement of racial equity.
