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 Memorial Church.

A black and white photo taken during a performance of luciana achugar nude kneeling on top of a window ledge looking out into some trees with her left hand grabbing down on the window's ledge and her right hand grabbing the ends of her long hair pulled together just in front of the same right shoulder. She is looking away so one can only see the back of her head. This was taken during a performance inside of a warehouse with large windows looking out into many trees during the sunset hours.
