What better way to capture the essence of Meet the Moment than through dance. We are super excited to share that we will be featuring Gavin Stewart and Vanessa Owen of Stewart/Owen Dance during our 2024 TEDxAsheville event! Gavin Stewart and Vanessa Owen are co-founders of Western North Carolina-based Stewart/Owen Dance, the resident dance company of Wortham Center for the Performing Arts. As a choreographic duo, S/O Dance is committed to cross-genre collaborations, partnering with writers, filmmakers, and musicians to produce stage productions, films, music videos, an immersive parking lot show, and a dance and spoken-word exhibit. Their choreography has been presented across the U.S. and abroad on fifteen tours with the U.S. State Department and Company E. Achievements include the Audience Choice Award, a Dance Gallery Festival commission, a McDowell Regional Artist Project Grant, and two N.C. Artist Support Grants (2021, 2024), an N.C. Grassroots Arts Program Grant and a commission from American Dance Festival (2024 premiere). As resident artists of the Wortham, S/O were the first to be commissioned for new work and presented in Wortham's Mainstage Series. Their latest production premieres at the Wortham in May 2024 in the Tina McGuire Theatre.

TEDx Asheville is joining this momentum as we re-enter the conversation and re-engage our community.
About us
TEDx Asheville In 2020 the doors closed – literally – on our businesses, schools and faith communities, everywhere. Almost overnight, our lives went from interconnected to disengaged and disconnected. For many of us, it’s been a thought-provoking, and perhaps necessary, journey inwards. But within this contraction, some unforeseen developments have occurred. Barriers have been broken, assumptions challenged, creativity and unlikely connections emerged, hearts and minds opening – change is afoot! Tedx Asheville is joining this momentum as we re-enter the conversation and re-engage our community – both local and global. We look to become a ‘hub of hope’ by sharing inspirational stories of personal growth, community engagement and, as always, groundbreaking ideas. We will explore building bridges and opening doors through shared perspectives, robust conversations and listening deeply, to help us make sense of this year of disruption. We see TEDx Asheville as an invitation to reconnect and provide hope for this transformation – within ourselves as well as our communities. We hope you will join us as we walk the path of re-engagement, together.
