Movement Research

The Center for Movement Research is an organization that is dedicated to offering free and low-cost dance classes, workshops, residencies and performance opportunities for artists in New York City. It is known for its devotion to improvisation, post-modern dance, experimentation and an activism towards invention, creation and emerging dance movements. It was founded in 1978 under the name “The School for Movement Research & Construction” and incorporated in 1980. Movement Research is a laboratory for the investigation of dance- and movement-based forms that value the individual artist's creative process and their greater role in society. With performances at the Judson Memorial Church and many autonomous venues, Movement Research strives to reflect the cultural, political and economic diversity of its movement community, by including artists and audiences alike in their rhizomatic programming.

Performances and Events

Judson Memorial Church: A weekly gathering committed to physical exploration in all forms that welcomes viewers to observe work in its embryonic stage with free admission. The highly visibility and low-tech forum nurtures and instigates discourse and experimentation for emerging ideas and works-in-progress for artists that have been selected by a committee of artists and international guests. The works are performed in the Judson Memorial Church during the Spring and Fall seasons.

Open Performance: A program of non-curated works-in-progress by artists at all stages of their development. To support and inform the artists’ processes, the performance platform is shared with other dance works and includes audience discussions that are moderated by a Movement Research Artist-in-Residence.

Studies Project: An artist-curated series of panel discussions, performances and/or other formats that focuses on provocative and timely issues of aesthetics and philosophy in the intersection of dance and social politics, confronting and instigated by the dance and performance community.

Movement Research Festival: The festival happens twice a year and explore contemporary dance forms through discursive formats. The Fall Festival focuses on improvisation and is shaped by Movement Research’s programming staff. They work in collaboration with independent curatorial advisors who bring their interests and ideas to specific festival events. The Spring Festival is produced by a team of artist-curators who determine the emphasis, shape, and programming. Usually DIY in nature, the events are markedly different from more traditional institutional festivals. The guest curators are given a shoestring budget of twelve thousand dollars, with a mandate that half of this must go to artists’ fees. Together, these two festival approaches allow for a varied investigation and exploration into current artistic concerns.

Gala: Every year, Movement Research gathers to celebrate the past, present and future of the organization. Innovators, artists, and pioneers integral to the organization's mission are honored with a dinner, performances, and a party.

Classes and Workshops

Held at many different locations, Movement Research offers ongoing, low-cost, drop-in classes. Usually led by progressive dance artists established in the field of contemporary movement and other arts disciplines, these classes attract local, national and international people.

Artist Opportunities

Space Rental: Movement Research rents low-cost studio space to artists for rehearsals, classes, workshops or private instruction on an hourly basis.

AIR, Artist-in-Residence: In an effort to support the individualized creative process of selected artists, Movement Research offers a residency program that provides commissions, rehearsal space, performances, artist exchanges, and related opportunities to movement artists who have been chosen by a rotating artist panel.

MRX, Movement Research Exchange: MRX enables Artists-in-Residence and faculty to travel outside their home environment for residency activities, informal showings, discussions and teaching opportunities. It was created as a vehicle to initiate interactions and exchanges among independent choreographers and their peers from inside and outside the USA.

'Internship: Ongoing internships in many of the different areas within the organization are available year round.

Performance Journal

Started in 1990, Movement Research's Performance Journal is a printed publication created by and for artists. It fosters the evolution of written and graphic languages that contemplate current issues of dance and performance. Published twice a year, the Performance Journal provides a space for critical conversations to appeal to a multi-disciplinary readership. The text includes articles about events, artists, trends, and ideas associated with the current and upcoming performance season in New York, greater USA, and internationally. The Performance Journal has focused on topics including gender, environment, identity, technology, activism, dance writing and how contemporary dance negotiates with broader culture.

Critical Correspondence

Critical Correspondence is a web-based publication of Movement Research that provides a forum for diverse engagements with artistic practice, research, and the contexts that surround the field of dance. Utilizing the flexibility of a digital platform, Critical Correspondence publishes timely and in-depth content in multiple formats, including interviews, experimental and scholarly writing, podcasts and video projects. Edited by a rotating team of artists, the publication aims to foster discourse and increase the visibility of dance and movement-based forms in larger artistic and cultural conversations. Currently edited by Abigail Levine and Will Rawls.
