COCO DANCE FESTIVAL GOES ONLINE IN OCTOBER 2020

As the world comes to terms with defining the new normal, the Trinidad and Tobago-based Contemporary Choreographers’ Collective continues to provide platforms for dance artists to respond to their environment in the ways they see and experience it. Besides increasing media focus on stranger-than-fiction events and theories associated with extra-terrestrial phenomena, we have also had to deal with a virus and way of life previously unknown to contemporary humans. Additionally, the alienating and sometimes unidentifiable presence and effects of systemic racism are being confronted in bold new ways.

All this has possibly created a future that has been pushed to the outer limits of familiarity and predictability. We don't usually have an overall theme, but this year we've given our COCO DANCE FESTIVAL the name "ALIEN". Luckily, novelty, alienation and dealing with social nuance are the normal extremes of the lives of artists. Join us online on October 24 and 25 to see works by Caribbean choreographers, as well as choreographers from other reaches of the globe.
