The Event: “Making”

Now in its fifth year, Making Space is a biennial performance festival, produced by tbd. dance collective, featuring a curation of choreographic works created by local, regional, and national movement artists. Often changing venues, choreographic guidelines, and structure, the purpose of this festival is to provide a platform for movement artists to present new work, explore the process of developing choreography, create connections among artists locally and cross-regionally, and offer educational workshops to foster a collective celebration of dance within our community.

The Venue: “Space”

This year, Making Space Dance Festival will take place at Holy Family Community Center located in North Downtown Omaha, NE. The building, a Nebraska Historical Site originally built in 1883, functioned as a church for almost 140 years with a school on the first floor and a sanctuary on the second floor. In 2020, the building came under the care of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Omaha and no longer operates as a church. The first floor is now home to the services provided by SVdP for individuals in the area, including a free sack lunch program and access to free clothing and basic personal care items. Still retaining its original architectural beauty, the chapel on the 2nd floor now functions as a community space activated through performances, concerts, partner events, and art!

Making Space 2022 will feature 6 movement based works, created by 5 choreographers in response to the unique space at Holy Family. Participating choreographers were selected internally by members of tbd. dance collective. Learn more about the artists below!
