The Movement Source Dance Company   

Founded in 1988, The Movement Source is a nonprofit, multimedia modern dance company whose mission is to expand the audience for dance in Arizona by creating exciting, accessible dance works, education programs, and events. New works are generated each season to keep audiences and artists motivated, challenged, and interested. Many major performances are interpreted for the deaf community.   

Company members represent a broad spectrum of diverse talents and backgrounds that are continually enhanced each season through collaborations with artists from various media (visual artists, musicians, writers, videographers, and actors) to create exciting new works that integrate their art forms with dance. The company is creative in its approach to choreography, community-based education, and performances in theaters and nontraditional sites.
