About The Movement Theatre Company
ENGAGE. ENLIGHTEN. EMPOWER. In the spring of 2007, fifteen artists of color gathered at a coffee shop in New York City. They were a group of trained actors, writers, and directors fresh out of NYU looking to share authentic and complex stories of their communities and cultures that were bold, risky, and unapologetic. In that coffee shop, they realized that a space like that didn’t exist for artists like them and so, The Movement Theatre Company was formed. The Movement Theatre Company creates an artistic social movement by developing and producing new work by artists of color. Our work engages audiences in a rich theatrical dialogue, enlightens communities to the important issues affecting our world, and empowers artists to celebrate the many sides of their unique voice. We create brave spaces for artists of color to discover and unleash their most authentic selves and tell complex stories of both the everyday and the extraordinary. Through our work we refuel, affirm, and celebrate the triumph of our resilience as artists.
