MRPJ #8/Travel Issue: Editors’ Note

SPRING/SUMMER 1994

Editors: Cathy Edwards and Guy Yarden

As artists move through our tiny office on the way to somewhere, or on their way back from somewhere, we think about TRAVEL: what it means to take a journey, and what issues are implicit in the ways that culture travels. While Movement Research is a home base for many artists, we are also searching for ways in which we can impact dance and performance in the world beyond Ave A. We want to participate in a dialogue about the current state of the arts, a dialogue that should span the neighborhoods of this city, the regions of this country and continent, and reach across the oceans that surround us. The projects for this year- and future years- include exchange residencies in Nebraska, Mexico, Denmark, and Venezuela: participation in the biannual Recountres Choregraphiques in France, and an increased distribution of the Performance Journal, so that artists around the world can share in the discussion of work that is ongoing at Movement Research. We hope you enjoy this issue, and welcome letters to the editor, and other commentary.
