The Contemporary Choreographers’ Collective (COCO) began in 2009 to give young choreographers a place to showcase their work and to grow as artists without having the burden of production expenses on their shoulders. From its inception, the group has presented an annual festival of contemporary dance, workshops, and community interventions (please see cocodancefestival.org). COCO Dance Festival has grown into the largest contemporary dance festival in the English-speaking Caribbean, and has even received two mentions in the New York Daily News. The year 2023 marks our fifteenth year of festival activity.

As we emerge from the cultural and societal shocks of the pandemic, we are aiming to raise funds to support our projects - particularly our annual festival and our COCO in the Community project, where we execute community outreach events.

Please consider supporting us so that we can continue to bring these important programmes to local, regional and international audiences.

Here's a little bit of our history - our first promotional video in 2009:
