Spring 2021
With many guest collaborators, continued work with our Artists-in-Residence and Student Artists-in-Residence, our team is grateful to continue growing and exploring together with a focus on seeking out moments of JOY, wherever and whenever we can find them, to survive these challenging times.

Fall 2020
In Fall 2020, The Movement Lab continues to work to uplift artists and create spaces for engagement. We hope to support students and artists to identify and explore new projects through our programming and resources. While current COVID restrictions prevent connecting within our physical space, we look forward to our remote programming and the collaborative opportunities it has opened up!

Fall 2020 Programming:
We are very excited to offer a new semester full of Workshops and MeMoSa's (Media Movement Salons). A silver lining of the remote nature of this semester is the chance we have been given to engage collaboratively with a wider range of groups and individuals. We are particularly excited to announce the 3-year company residency of Angela's Pulse, a workshop series with Brooklyn College's PIMA, and a collaborative project with University of Fine Arts Hamburg (HFBK).
Check out these collaborations and more in our upcoming events, all of which are free and open to the public. We look forward to engaging with you!
Immersive Projection
Guy de Lancey, the Movement Lab's studio manager, designer, and technologist oversaw the installation of two large projectors calibrated to cover the wall on the east side of the lab. The projection spans about 30 feet of the 50 foot wall. Another smaller projector projects onto the south side wall. Two more projectors are installed into the ceiling, pointing downward to cover the floor area. All five projectors can be linked together to project a single image in series or separate images, and are connectable through an HDMI cord to any computer. So, if you'd like to experience the full-screen projection and have a project in mind, contact the Movement Lab!
You can submit a booking request, and email movement@barnard.edu with any questions. We can't wait to see what kinds of projects you produce!
The Lab
The Movement Lab is a space for experimentation and exploration at the intersection of dance, performance, and technology. We also collaborate closely with the Media Center. To learn more, read this interview with our director.
