Moving Futures
Moving Futures is the festival where you experience dance by the latest generation of creators in all its manifestations. Every year, the festival offers you innovative dance in a generously diverse programme in nine Dutch cities. Be surprised by today's committed, bold and barrier-breaking dance makers and performers.
Moving Futures Festival is an initiative of De Nieuwe Oost, ICK Artist Space, DansBrabant, Dansateliers, Korzo, Grand Theatre Groningen.
With the nationwide network and joining forces with local theatres and partners, the above dance houses aim to make a new generation of choreographers visible on a national scale.
The network Moving Futures is driven by a shared vision of how to shape talent development for a new generation of dance makers. It facilitates critical dialogue, sharpening working methods, identity, thinking and operating. The network and festival act as a meeting place for makers, audiences, programmers and producers. Besides the programming, the festival offers a rich and framing fringe programme, which invites audiences to meet the choreographers in different ways. Through targeted cooperation between partners and with local theatres and various partners, the houses aim to raise visibility and build brand awareness for a new generation of choreographers.
