This dance series, begun in January 2002 by Sara Juli and Alexx Shilling, focuses on collaborative works using mixed media as the core of its mission. Each choreographer must collaborate with an artist of a genre, outside of dance, in order to be a part of this series. Artists presented have included Ann Robideaux/Paula Plessas, Eileen Schwartz, Arianne Anthony, Toni Melass and Lily Gene Baldwin, Joshua Bisset/SHUA Dance Group, Ali Kenner, Anime Dance Theater, Hana van der Kolk, Bennett Dance Company, Felicia Ballos, Deganit Shemy, Seth Williams, Elizabeth Ward, Rachel Bernsen, Tara O'Con, Janessa Clark, Vanessa Fassié, Regina Rocke, Nancy Garcia, Antonietta Vicario, April Biggs, Malika Green, Beth Maderal, Maré Hieronimus, Lisa Parra, Hilary Clark, James McGinn, Jillian Peña, Dawn Springer, Gabriella Barnstone, Sakura Shimada, Megan Byrne, Leah Cox and Verhoff/Loturco Danceworks among others.
Body Blend is curated by Isabel Lewis.

This series features work by 3-4 choreographers on the last Tuesday of each month. Curator Marcia Monroe mixes different forms of expression and promotes artists taking risks within their own art form. The boundaries crossed may be national, with dance artists from South America, Denmark, Germany, Israel, Japan and the U.S.; or within disciplines, as "legitimate" artists travel "downtown" for the first time. Several groups have traveled from Brazil, sponsored by the Brazilian government, to participate in this series, including Regina Miranda Actors & Dancers Company and the Sandro Borelli Group. Other artists include Frances Alekinoff, Monica Bill Barnes, Maria Hassabi, Amos Pinhasi, Francisco Rider, Johannes Wieland, Amanda Loulaki, Shahrayr, Jennifer Tsukayama,Cynthia Berkshire, Marcelo Rueda, Jennifer Rosenblit, Leslie Satin, Rebecca Brooks, Smruti Patel, K.J. Holmes, Rachel Thorne Germond, Donna Costello, Marija Krtolica, The Roosters, Sally Hess, Moeno Wakamatsu, Kyle Abraham, Moham Kulasingam, Jesse Phillips, Nina Winthrop, Josefina Diels, Steinunn Ketilsdóttir, Javier Dzul, Lisa Parra, Taylor Ho Bynum, Adrienne Fadjo, Elke Rindfleisch, Joyce S. Lim, Eve Chalom, Celeste Hastings, Amy Cone, and Noopur Singha.
Curator Marcia Monroe is a dancer/choreographer from Rio de Janeiro, who has studied with the Joffrey, Merce Cunningham Studio, the Hakutobo Group from Japan and Meredith Monk. She has performed at P.S. 122, The Knitting Factory, DIA, St. Mark's Church and Movement Research.

This series provides an opportunity for choreographers who are either beginning or evolving in their careers. Once every other month, four new works are shown in development from choreographers who are not often given the opportunity to show work in the larger venues which demand more "finished" visions. Recent artists and groups presented through this series include Karen Bernard, Lise Brenner, Cynthia Bueschel, Clare Byrne, Susan Cline-Lucey, Olase Freeman, Aviva Geismar, Incidents Physical Theater, Amy Kail, Fernando Maneca, Jill Sigman and Christine Suarez. Subsequent artists include; Marcy Schlissel, Isabella Bruno, Ana Marambio, Crystal Bella, Chih-Chun Huang, Melanie Aceto, Mary Ann Wall, Celia Rowlson-Hall, Elizabeth Wilkinson, Kai Ming Kleinbard, Rachel Mckinstry, Liz Riga, Cortney Mcguire, Leah Nelson, Beth Bradford, Casey Blake, Elise Knudson, Irem Calikusu, Dorian Nuskind-Oder, En-Ning Chuang, Kelly Hanson, Jennifer Goodwin, Kristen Schifferdecker, Maggie Bennett, Helen Simoneuz, Jennifer A. Cooper, and Rodger Belman. In 2004, Under Exposed became a festival event, with three consecutive nights of programming. The first festival was March 25th-27th 2004 and was held at University Settlement.
In 2008, choreographers Laura Peterson and Jack Ferver took over curatorial duties from Shannon Hummel and Monica Bill Barnes.
