Open Table builds on the original mission of A Seat At The Table—to confront underrepresentation, bias, unequal standards, and barriers to access—while shifting toward a model that prioritizes sustained engagement and the cultivation of emerging voices. Rooted in Turning Tables’ five pillars—Underrepresentation, Bias, Standard, Acceptance, and Pride—Open Table invites artists to create work that is both critically rigorous and deeply embodied.

Curated to reflect a dynamic range of movement vocabularies, cultural expressions, and perspectives, Open Table Series highlights choreographers rigorously engaging with personal and collective narratives while upholding a high standard of artistic inquiry.
