MR Festival 2024: Practice of Embodied Solidarity in Movement(s)

About the MR Festival

Movement Research Festival finds its roots in the Improvisation Festival/New York (IF/NY), initiated in 1992 by artists Sondra Loring (an MR Artist-in-Residence at the time) and Julie Carr. In 1999 IF/NY became a program of Movement Research, under the curation of Programming Director Amanda Loulaki. In 2004, Movement Research created a guest artist curator format, and in 2006, Movement Research established the festival as a twice-annual event. This biannual, guest artist curator approach allows for a varied investigation and exploration into current artistic concerns and reflects Movement Research’s mission of valuing diverse artists’ voices, their creative process and vital role within society. The Fall Festival centers around performances at our long-time festival home, Danspace Project.
