Cure-8 2025

Cure-8

Produced by Hui Cha Poos in partnership with RACE Dance Collective

Oct. 30-Nov. 2, 2025

This was the second year of Cure-8 performances at Oklahoma Contemporary. Cure-8 was an 8-week creative experience that paired local dance makers with leading industry experts to produce new original works. Through these mentorships, artists wove community engagement and advocacy for pressing social issues into their creative process. Choreographers collaborated with local social service organizations, crafting works informed by topics paramount to the community. By presenting works that called attention to specific social issues, the audience's experience was more than passive observation; it catalyzed active engagement and dialogue for social change.

Cure-8 was presented in partnership with Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center and is made possible through grant funding from OK Let's Dance, an initiative of the Kirkpatrick Family Fund.
