OUR MISSION

The Movement Cooperative at Indiana University aims to create a welcoming environment in which members are encouraged to explore dance through creating and experimenting with movement.

MoCo will act as a forum for members to discuss creative projects they want to pursue while providing the leadership opportunities to produce them. We will facilitate the development of these projects and, as a community, foster and elevate the work to its fruition.
 


To see our mission realized, we provide the opportunity for members:
 

-to take leadership in creating original dance scores.

-to take part in inspirational collaborations.
-to deepen exploration of artistic concepts.

-to discuss current events in the local, national and international dance worlds.

OUR VISION

We are here to push the boundaries of dance, to explore the possibilities of movement, to go where no dancer has gone before. We have seen dance on the stage. We have seen dance under those colorful stage lights. We have seen dance in front of that white scrim background. What we are interested in is venturing beyond what we have already seen and begin searching for something new.

 

Challenge us. Show us something on a stage we have never seen before. Show us a new way to light your dancers. Show us that exciting, thrilling thing full of newness. Perform in a field, by a tree, near a sculpture, on the road. Shock us. Surprise us. Make us gasp. Make us laugh. Show us something we will love. Show us something we will hate. There are no limits, so stop being scared and GO FOR IT.

 

We are not ruling anything out.
