Making Moves: Baltimore

The National Center for Choreography-Akron (NCCAkron) will present Making Moves: Baltimore on Thursday, August 6 from 7:00-8:00pm at Red Emma's Bookstore. This free event brings together arts leaders from across the D.C., Maryland, and greater Virginia area to discuss the often invisible labor and creative processes behind arts administration. Through case studies and storytelling, the conversation will explore adaptive thinking and creative administrative practices. Making Moves are free public talks highlighting how dance and the arts touch everyday life. 

Speakers will include Christy Bolingbroke (Akron, OH) and further guest speakers to be announced.

NCCAkron is the only currently operating national center for choreography in the U.S., a research and development hub for dance. Artists on Creative Administration: A Workbook from the National Center for Choreography is an arts and creative life book recently published in 2024 by The University of Akron Press. Edited by artist/cultural strategist Tonya Lockyer (Suquamish, WA) this book features essays from and interviews with 30 artists and advocates from the dance and performing arts worlds, sharing first-hand stories of creative administration in action through case studies, interviews, life tools, and experiments.

This event is free and guests are asked to RSVP.
