Welcome to the 12th Xposition 'O' Contemporary Dance Fiesta (XPO), an extraordinary milestone in the legacy of Odyssey Dance Theatre Ltd (ODT Ltd) as we celebrate our 24th anniversary. This momentous occasion allows us to reflect on our commitment to "Celebrating Cultural Diplomacy with the World'' and reaffirm our position as one of Asia's most esteemed dance festivals.

At XPO, we are dedicated to fostering meaningful and sustainable initiatives that engage our audience on a profound level. Through our elaborate programming, we strive to create opportunities for in-depth engagement and exploration. This year, we take immense pride in presenting XPO in both Singapore and Vietnam, expanding our reach and impact across borders. We are pleased to present works by award-winning companies such as AURA Dance Theatre (Lithuania), Spellbound Contemporary Ballet (Italy) and Saigon Contemporary and Ballet Company (Vietnam).

Within this edition of XPO, we have carefully curated two major tracks that define our programming direction: Performance and Education. Under the Performance Track, the Global Dance Series, Global Dance Links Series, and Global Collaboration Series will showcase extraordinary and profound works by established companies, as well as refreshing creations by independent artists. Meanwhile, the Education Track, comprising the Global Artists Programme, Global Master Class Series, and Global Choreographic Workshop Series, aims to engage audiences and dance enthusiasts through intellectual discourse and practical lessons that ignite the mind and fuel artistic growth.

In the spirit of friendship and cultural exchange, we invite you to join us in this celebration of arts and culture at the 12th Xposition 'O' Contemporary Dance Fiesta. Together, let us embrace the transformative power of movement and continue our journey of "Celebrating Cultural Diplomacy with the World."
