All Are Invited! New Waves! Institute presents its FINAL SEASON from 30 July - 1 August 2025 in Trinidad & Tobago! This special 3-day gathering will bring together an exceptional community of dance and performance artists, scholars, and teachers of the Caribbean and its diasporas. Registration is now open and closes on Monday, 31 March 2025.

New Waves! 2025 will be the most celebratory year ever! We are celebrating 12 iterations of the New Waves! Institute, hosted in its home base of Trinidad and Tobago, and in Haiti, New York, and Barbados. Over 1,000 dance artists, scholars, teachers, administrators, those in dance production (lighting and costume designers, musicians), and other leaders in the field of dance from around the world have participated since the program's inception in 2011. Each year, we gather to galvanize, play, workshop, commune, disrupt, engage, celebrate, mourn, heal, and move. Our vision is to embody the depth and spirit of contemporary dance and performance practice in the Caribbean and its Diasporas and connect in essential ways that alter and bring out light in one another.

Program highlights for New Waves! 2025 include: an Opening Celebration in collaboration with Guest Artists; a two-day series of workshops, lectures, film screenings, and movement sessions; and a special Emancipation Day presentation. Join us for this "las' lap" of New Waves! Institute, a program of the Dance + Performance Institute.
