CHANGE THE INDUSTRY FROM THE INSIDE OUT!
AT MOVES WE’RE BUILDING A CATALOGUE OF MOVEMENT-MINDED CREATORS.
The more people in positions of influence – such as directors, producers, photographers, videographers, sound designers, writers,etc. – who come from dance backgrounds, the better equipped we are to advocate for the interests of dancers and the dance industry.
What we’re Looking for?
AT MOVES WE’RE LOOKING FOR MOVEMENT-BASED SUBMISSIONS THAT EXPLORE THEMES SURROUNDING CULTURE, HISTORY, LIFESTYLE, IDENTITY, FASHION, MUSIC, ART AND DANCE-POLITICS.
THESE CAN BE IN THE FORM OF FASHION EDITORIALS, CONCEPTS, SHORT FILMS, FINE ART, ILLUSTRATION, DESIGN AND MUSIC VIDEOS.
WE ALSO PUBLISH INTERVIEWS, ARTICLES AND THINK PIECES.
All Submissions must be unpublished
