The Moving Architects
The Moving Architects provide a unique, intimate connection to dance, addressing a deep need for engaging, female-centric art. They excel in creating collaborative dance works and community-based projects through original performances, educational movement programs for all ages, and thought-provoking public discourse via their popular podcast.
Their dance pieces explore feminist narratives and ideologies through an expansive and inclusive lens. By delving into the complex roles and relationships of mothers, caretakers, partners, and friends, they examine power dynamics and gender traits. This dynamic embodiment of both current and historically lived female experiences is at the core of their art.
The company has toured globally and across the United States, earning accolades and awards for their choreographic excellence. Their collaborations on bold, fearless projects have been praised for their fresh and daring aesthetic. Their work is grounded in collaboration, informed by extensive research in Laban Movement Analysis, modern and postmodern dance techniques, and improvisation.
At the heart of The Moving Architects are the dance artists themselves, whose relationships are built on trust, boldness, thoughtfulness, and risk. Their movement grammar focuses on physical and emotional power, exploring stillness, speed, overexertion, and the effects of weight through force and strength. Collaborating with visual artists, they incorporate textiles, interactive costumes, and objects to create engaging material and architectural landscapes. They also work with composers and musicians to embed rich textures of sound and rhythm into their pieces.
Their community-driven collaborative process fosters experimentation and trust, led by the choreographer and director. This approach creates multi-faceted worlds for audiences to enter, experience, and reflect upon.
