MOVE MOVE COLLABORATIVE

Move Move Collaborative is a Baltimore based movement initiative. It began in 2017, as a container to explore horizontal organization in ensemble performance. Seeking to bring the macrocosm of embodied histories into the microcosm of group dynamics, we use the least hierarchical methods we can to create performance work.

Over time, Move Move Collaborative has adapted to center care and become an intentional space of exploration across difference. Move Move hosts an annual gathering where people come together to share body based practices and modes of thinking with the body, all while keeping our sense organs facing performance.

Move Move Collaborative is a project facilitated by Peter Redgrave. I would like to thank Cristal Sabbagh, Orlando Johnson, Matt Williams, Emmett Wilson, slowdanger, Maggie Schneider, Ashley Shey, Sifu Sun, and Kate O’Brien for all the time they have spent in dialogue regarding this project.
