Making Moves: Boston

The National Center for Choreography-Akron (NCCAkron) will present Making Moves: Boston on Sunday, May 3 at Jean Appolon Dance Center. This free event brings together arts leaders from across New England and the U.S. 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 from a New England perspective and beyond. 

Speakers will include Jean Appolon (Boston, MA), Christy Bolingbroke (Akron, OH), Connie C. Chin (Cambridge, MA), Shoni Currier (Lewiston, ME), Peter DiMuro (Boston, MA), Meg McGrath (Boston, MA), and Cheri Opperman (Somerville, MA).

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.
