Events

The Movement Research at The Judson Church gives local and international artists an opportunity to showcase performance work at any stage of development. This is a high visibility, low-tech forum on Monday nights happening throughout the fall and spring seasons.

A program of non-curated shared showings of experimentation and work-in-progress, for artists at all stages of their development. The events are centered around an audience discussion moderated by a Movement Research Artist-in-Residence or guest artist, where we will experiment with different feedback methods to support and inform the artists’ process.

Movement Research Festivals explore contemporary dance forms through performances, classes, workshops, and discursive events. MR Festivals allow for a varied investigation and exploration into current artistic concerns and reflect Movement Research’s mission of valuing artists, their creative process, and their vital role within society.

An artist-curated series of panel discussions, participatory dialogues and community conversations that focus on provocative, timely issues of aesthetics and philosophy at the intersection of dance and social politics. All Studies Project events are free and open to the public.

GPS Chats offers GPS artists and cultural producers an informal platform to discuss their work in the independent contemporary dance sector within their cultural contexts and the influence of international exchange on the development of their practices.

The International Interdisciplinary Artists Consortium (IIAC) is a network of performing and creative artists, educators and producers working across artistic disciplines and continental divides. The body and movement are central to the consortium’s practice, research and dialogue. IIAC's primary aspirations are:

• to engage in artists' residencies that offer opportunities for knowledge exchange which feed into larger social, cultural and educational structures (i.e. workshops, festivals and academia)
• to identify and sustain methods for sharing resources and values
