What is Movement Research at the Judson Church?
This program is a high visibility, low-tech forum on Monday nights at Judson Memorial Church throughout the fall and spring seasons. Movement Research at the Judson Church series is one of a number of Movement Research (MR) programs intended to serve as a creative laboratory and incubator for wide-ranging artistic investigations in movement-based forms; this series is a platform for artists at various stages of their creative development.
Movement Research at the Judson Church is a free event and draws audiences from the dance community and general public. Because Movement Research supports creative practice and process, not final product, the Movement Research at the Judson Church series is for exploration of ideas, not a venue for fully produced work on a season’s presentation.
How to Show Work
Artists are selected by a rotating selection committee of peer artists. Work shown in this series must not exceed a maximum of 15 minutes. Artists selected for the series will receive a $300 performance fee.
Please note** Due to the high volume of applications we receive for this series, anyone who showed or will show their work on the Movement Research at the Judson Church 2024/2025 season (September 2024 – June 2025) is ineligible to apply for this round.
