MISSION
Under the direction of founders Brennan Gerard and Ryan Kelly, Moving Theater brings together independent, innovative artists from dance, theater, music, architecture, film, and the visual arts to collaborate on deliberately discipline-defying, frontier-crossing projects.
Moving Theater works are driven by movement research, unconventional dramaturgy, radical interpretations of classic and contemporary texts, and a fierce commitment to inter-disciplinary, international, and performer/creator collaboration.

HISTORY
Founded in 2002, Moving Theater has created five original productions. From Without, an evening-length dance/theater work on the explosive encounter of Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud, to Sixty, an hour-long directed improvisation, these projects share an unconventional dramaturgy, a fierce commitment to performer/creator collaboration, and a basis in movement research. Moving Theater has performed these works on stages in New York City (EFA Gallery, Abrons Art Center /Henry Street Settlement, Dance New Amsterdam, Works & Process Series at the Guggenheim Museum, Joyce SoHo, Mazer Theater), Montreal, Boston, East Hampton, and at Jacob’s Pillow, as well as in non-traditional spaces ranging from an abandoned glue factory in Hudson, NY, to a coffee emporium in SoHo.
Moving Theater develops projects through immersive and intensive periods of collaboration, sometimes bringing artists outside of the city. The company has completed residencies at the Old American Can Factory in Brooklyn (2005); the Morriss Center Dance Institute in East Hampton, NY (2004), and in Hudson, NY (2003). Moving Theater is in currently in residence at the Watermill Center.
As of August 2006, Moving Theater is the company-in-residence at Chez Bushwick.
