About Us

Mission Statement

movement research is one of the world's leading laboratories for the investigation of dance and movement-based forms. Valuing the individual artist and their creative process and vital role within society, Movement Research is dedicated to the creation and implementation of free and low-cost programs that nurture and instigate discourse and experimentation. Movement Research strives to reflect the cultural, political and economic diversity of its moving community, including artists and audiences alike.

Strategic Plan

This Strategic Plan was written over the summer of 2006 by staff under the direction of past Executive Director Carla Peterson, with input from the board and other colleagues, and then finalized in FY08 under the new directorship of Executive Director Barbara Bryan.
