COCO Dance Festival

The COCO dance festival was established out of the Contemporary Choreographers’ Collective in Trinidad and Tobago. The sole mission of the organization is to inspire, encourage and serve the community through creative processes and collaborative endeavours.

COCO primarily provides a platform for innovation and experimentation in contemporary dance for emerging and established choreographers in Trinidad and Tobago. They also welcome participation from choreographers in the Caribbean region and beyond.

The festival started in 2009, when dancer and choreographer Sonja Dumas approached fellow veteran choreographers Dave Williams, Nancy Herrera, and Nicole Wesley with the idea hosing a contemporary showcase in Queen’s Hall.

Since then to now, the COCO Dance Festival has grown by leaps and bounds and continues to attract locals as well as a regional and international audience each year.
