Dancers Making Dances: Creative Collab

Dancers Making Dances is a beloved Columbus Dance Theatre tradition that gives performers the creative lead in developing the evening's program. Rather than following a set choreography, the dancers themselves serve as choreographers, designing original pieces that showcase their artistic vision. This production model has been a cornerstone of CDT's programming for over a decade. What makes this event special is its collaborative spirit. Each dancer-choreographer teams up with local visual artists and musicians who are selected through an open call process. This weekend of performances becomes a celebration of Columbus's creative community, featuring the distinct artistic voices of homegrown talent across dance, visual art, and music. It's a wonderful opportunity to experience innovative, community-driven work and support local artists.
