MOVING BODY festival returns to Varna again, this time with two modulesSummer 8 - 25 June and autumn 17 - 20 OctoberWe have prepared an intensive program - educational workshops, performances, showing work in progress, conversations with the audience, screenings, party situations#TheWayWeMoveMatters
Moving Body platform is devoted to connecting artists, mediums, audiences and communities through contemporary dance, performances and films that are on the border of video art and dance. The event is held annually in Varna in October. At the heart of the initiative and the design of the program are the questions - What makes us move? How do we move? Towards what we are moving? This concept is realized in a platform for sharing know-how that gives children, youngsters, professional dancers, artists from different fields and moving enthusiasts the possibility to have an encounter with active dancers and choreographers who come to share their experience with them, their arsenal of techniques and philosophical thoughts and ideas around the notion of movement.
