Hsiao-jou Tang in a work-in-progress showing of MOVEMENT at The Yard

MOVEMENT is a new evening-length dance work from Netta Yerushalmy that synthesizes over 100 embodied citations from a range of dances across genres and cultures. It is a radical quilt of stolen material that stretches pluralism until it snaps. The project features a new score by Paula Matthusen and is performed by eight dancers hailing from Korea, Senegal, Israel, Taiwan, and across the USA. MOVEMENT will premiere in March 2022 at Peak Performances. 

MOVEMENT is co-commissioned by PEAK Performances at Montclair State (NJ). This project was created, in part, at The Yard, an artist residency and performance center dedicated to contemporary dance and related arts, with additional development support from a City Center Choreography Fellowship, Dance Initiative, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, and the Maggie Allesee National Center for Choreography (MANCC).  MOVEMENT was developed in residence at the Alexander Kasser Theater, Montclair State University.
