This annual festival hosted by Suchu Dance highlights a variety of choreographers and dance companies with fresh work. The festival includes three weekends of main performances, special guest Master Classes, interactive events, meet-the-artist lounges, and a swanky closing party with the dance community!

Big Range Dance Festival promises another collection of fresh, innovative, and raw choreography from a range of some of the most well known and beloved choreographers and companies in Houston, to some of the newest blood to emerge on the Houston dance scene.

Founded in 2003, the Big Range Dance Festival (BRDF) seeks to foster quality dance theatre that explores diverse ideas and the fusion of theatrical arts. The Festival encourages choreographers to experiment in movement invention and the creation of a uniquely personal dance language, invoking the spirit of the modern and postmodern dance pioneers. BRDF seeks to engage the audience through new works that break boundaries, with a strong emphasis on the unique individual vision of the choreographer.
