Movement Research at the Judson Church Fall 2020/Winter 2021 Season 

What is Movement Research at the Judson Church? 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 MR supports creative 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. 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 $200 performance fee.

Basic tech info/specs: There is only standard (non-theatrical) lighting and a sound system capable of connecting to a device via an auxiliary cable (iPhone 6 and lower, iPods, laptops, etc). No other technical equipment will be available for use unless you provide and operate that equipment independently. The dance floor dimensions are 46’7” wide by 49’5” deep. This measurement does not include the altar, audience, or back of house.
