>>DONATE NOW<<
Thank you! Your ongoing support helps us succeed in our mission to offer accessible programming to everyone!!
Since its founding over 40 years ago, Movement Research continues to serve as a vital hub for the investigation of dance and movement-based forms through a wide-range of accessible programming and publications. Since 2020, MR has offered free online classes, events, and workshops to further engage with our international artistic community. Most recently, we have expanded to offer sliding-scale payment options. As we reimagine and co-create spaces to be together, Movement Research reasserts our dedication to supporting the creative growth and employment of working artists.

Become a Capital Campaign Supporter
In 2018, after nearly 40 years as an itinerant organization, Movement Research moved into its first long-term home at 122 Community Center (122CC) in New York City's East Village.
The 122CC facilities include two dance studios and an on-site office, which offer Movement Research the stability to build on its history as an incubator for revolutionary dance. As we embrace our new home’s potential, we are developing strategies to sharpen our structures for support and responsiveness—and to better meet the overwhelming demand for our programs. Your support ensures that Movement Research’s vital work will flourish in our new home.
