A free, high visibility low-tech forum for experimentation, emerging ideas, and works-in-progress held in the Fall and Spring seasons. Artists are selected by a rotating committee of peer artists, and join Movement Research Artists-In-Residence and international guests each season in performing at the historic Judson Church.

Please enter at 243 Thompson St.
No RSVP required!

Each season, the Movement Research Artists of Color Council curates artists to participate in Movement Research at Judson Church Monday night performances.

Decadence in Decay – The corporeal in relation to the present; as the leaves change and the environment grows stark, the being exalts in the languorous effort of decay. The most natural of processes, internalized by the masses. Visions of surrender, returning to the earth to meet a hopeful beginning of resurrection in a season not yet known.
