Even Exchange Dance Theater (EEDT), based in Raleigh, NC, is one of the area's leading professional modern dance companies.  Since 1997, EEDT has been involving audiences in modern dance through performances, school programming, and community partnerships.  The company's partners have included: artists, local leaders, veterans, inmates, seniors and at-risk youth.

Through its collaborative process, EEDT has created a body of work that is meaningful and pertinent to everyday life.  To accomplish this, each year EEDT chooses a new theme and researches it by meeting experts in the field, collecting stories from the community, and drawing on company members' experiences.  Past themes include: fast-paced modern life, gender stereotypes, roles of spirituality, teenage memories, food and politics, aging, perspectives on history, and conflict resolution.

Pieces range from solos to large company works.  EEDT engages audiences in a variety of environments.  The company holds four types of performances.  An EEDT concert performance, which showcases new choreography, In Our Own Backyard (produced by EEDT and featuring Triangle choreographers), First Friday/Dance Seen (a free series introducing downtown Raleigh to diverse dance artists), and school shows and community events.
