The Center for Movement Research is a non-profit organization that offers dance classes, workshops, residencies and performance opportunities for artists in New York City. Its focus is on improvisation, post-modern dance, and experimentation.[1] It was founded in 1978 under the name “The School for Movement Research & Construction” and incorporated in 1980. Movement Research is a self-called 'laboratory' for the investigation of dance- and movement-based forms.[2] The Center for Movement Research organizes performances at the Judson Memorial Church and many autonomous venues.[3]
Initiatives
Among Movement Research's initiatives are a weekly dance practice at Judson Memorial Church, Open Performance, an open discussion moderated by a Movement Research Artist-in-Residence, Studies Project, a curated series of panels, and performances focused on a variety of issues, and the Movement Research Festival that explores contemporary dance.[4]
They also host a series of low-cost classes led by dance artists; [5] an artist in residence program known by the name AIR; and MRX, a traveling artist in residence program.
Publications
Movement Research has two publications: Performance Journal, a printed piece that focuses on current issues in performance; and Critical Correspondence, a web-based publication that includes interviews, experimental and scholarly writing, podcasts and video projects. It is currently edited by Abigail Levine and Will Rawls.[6]
Past Participating Dancers
Among dancers previously associated with Movement Research are: Trisha Brown, David Gordon, Ishmael Houston-Jones, Mårten Spångberg, Jennifer Monson,Zeena Parkins,Jennifer Lacey, Sarah Michelson, Will Rawls, Miguel Gutierrez, and DD Dorvillier.
