Donations support Movement Research in engaging our artists community through a robust suite of programs – including our residencies, classes & workshops, works-in-process performances, discursive events, and publications. Donations also help support our commitment of providing equitable artist fees for participation in MR programs, including:

— compensation for our Artists of Color Council and Accessibility Advisory Team members

— guaranteed minimum teacher fees for all classes & workshops including those offered for FREE or on Sliding Scale

— contributor fees for both of our artist-led publications, Movement Research Performance Journal and Critical Correspondence
