Movement Research Announces Current Artists-in-Residence
NY, NY, November 24th, 2021
Between 1988–89, Movement Research launched their renowned Artist-in-Residence (AIR) Program to support the individualized creative process of movement-based artists. The program, which provides artists with resources for artistic research and professional development with a focus on creative process and practice, has been running uninterruptedly for more than 30 (thirty) years supporting more than 200 (two hundred) artists.
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need to continue rethinking and transforming the existing structures around art making, but most importantly, about human relationships within artistic networks.
Art making is not separate from living.
What kind of communities are we building? What are the belief systems that inform these relationships? How do we uplift artists and their right for uncensored artistic expression, but also their right to live with dignity -access to shelter, food, safety, and economic well being-?
With these questions in the forefront, Movement Research celebrates 30 years of dedication to create process based artistic opportunities and announces the current Artists-in-Residence.

The Movement Research Artist-in-Residence Program is funded, in part, by the Jerome Foundation, the Mertz Gilmore Foundation, Dance/NYC’s New York City Dance Rehearsal Space Subsidy Program, made possible by The Andrew M. Mellon Foundation; the Davis/Dauray Family Fund; the Harkness Foundation for Dance; and by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and The New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
