luciana achugar is a Brooklyn-based choreographer from Uruguay who grew as an artist in close dialogue with the NY and Montevideo contemporary dance communities. She began making work collaboratively with Levi Gonzalez in 1999, and in 2002 she started working independently. Her work is concerned with the post-colonial world, searching for an undoing of current power structures from the inside out. She is a two-time "Bessie" recipient, a Guggenheim Fellow, and a Foundation for Contemporary Arts and Creative Capital Grantee.

Hosted by a different MELT teaching artist each week, the MELT “movie night” series features work on video that inspires, influences, engages and/or represents that artist's current creative process and artistic concerns. The screenings provide an opportunity for a more in-depth dialogue between students and teachers beyond the workshop setting, as well as a chance to connect in a more social environment. 

"Movie Nights" take place as part of MELT: a series of daily workshops in technique, somatics, improvisation, and composition offered each summer (5 weeks) and winter (3 weeks).Taught by Movement Research’s internationally recognized faculty as well as acclaimed guest artists, these workshops provide students with the unique opportunity to engage with some of the most highly regarded and innovative artists in the field of dance today. 

MELT "Movie Nights" take place every Tuesday, July 11-August 12. Tuesday, except July 19.
