9th Annual ‘Dance at the Odyssey’ Festival

Odyssey Theatre Ensemble’s annual six-week celebration of contemporary dance expands in its ninth year, doubling the number of offerings and spilling over into a second space at the Odyssey’s three-theater complex in West L.A. Performances in 2026 will take place concurrently in two theaters, Odyssey 2 and Odyssey 3, from January 8 through February 15. Curated by series co-founder Barbara Műller-Wittmann, the Odyssey’s unique festival has established itself as the go-to place to view new work by cutting edge companies and choreographers. This year’s event will spotlight the work of over 17 Los Angeles-based choreographers and feature three evenings of award-winning dance films from around the world. Odyssey Theatre, 2055 S.
