Movement Architecture is seeking $3,311 as we  enter the final phases of creative development for our artistic project: 


From Tokyo to Brooklyn: A Jagged Journey


Your support and belief in "From Tokyo to Brooklyn" (FTTB) has made incredible things happen.
*
This year we grew the work through an artistic residency at Rosy Simas Danse, and teamed up with collaborators who built the installation for our work-in-progress showing and helped to develop embodied voice techniques for FTTB.
*
In addition to our work on FTTB, we had the opportunity to present a remixed version of “All Hail the Queen” at this year’s Northrop Open House (click here to view pictures taken by audience members).
*
In light of our generative residency at Rosy Simas Danse, we are asking for $3,311 as we enter the final phases of creative development for FTTB! 


FINAL CAMPAIGN GOAL: $3,311


Every donation, no matter how small is appreciated. 

It all makes a difference! Thank you! 

All donations are tax-deductible


FROM TOKYO TO BROOKLYN:

"As the world has turned upside down, I'm turning myself inside out and returning to Tokyo for the first  6 years of my life. That's when I moved from Tokyo, Japan to Brooklyn, New York  never to speak Japanese--or see my grandparents again.

My Japanese-American identity has inspired me to examine the impact that culture has on our bodies, movement, and patterns and how that swirling alchemy of physical and social cultures influences the ways we move through our world.

My choreographic project, From Tokyo to Brooklyn: A Jagged Journey (FTTB), emerges from my own complicated cultural background. The intention is to create processes to unearth our internal histories, create evocative choreography and encourage embodied dialogue among us."

-Jinza Thayer

WHERE DOES MY DONATION GO?

ARTISTIC SUPPORT:
Movement Architecture’s primary goal is to pay the artists that will involved in FTTB. These artists include dancers, community outreach personnel, and choreographer Jinza Thayer.


ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT:
Movement Architecture’s secondary goal is to support administrative labor that help FTTB come to fruition. This includes covering things like tour guides for haptic tours of the performances and paying for the administrative labor to do PR, marketing and scheduling. Our beloved past Managing Director, Julia Davidson, is focusing on growing a family. We now welcome our new Managing Director, Daniel Grove. Exciting!

MOVEMENT ARCHITECTURE:
Movement Architecture (MA) is a contemporary dance company whose mission is to create, educate and heal through movement. Convening under the artistic direction of somatic movement educator and choreographer Jinza Thayer, MA constructs environments as a way to probe one’s internal world, presenting dance alongside large abstract props and visual installations.
