Movement Lab

We're excited to welcome you back for the Fall 2022 semester!

Our artists in residence have been working over the summer on a variety of projects: Collin Kelly and Alex Giroux will be hosting a MeMoSa of their performance therapy, as well as a workshop diving into their compositional methods. MaryAnn Talavera and Reese Antoinette are working on ORIXA, and Norah Zuniga Shaw is bringing OASIS to our space. You can also come experience Gender in the Archive, a collaboration between the lab and the Barnard Archives. 

Our semester’s offerings also include Pop-Ups, Classes, and our weekly Stillness Lab.

Check out our Upcoming Events, all of which are free and open to the public.

Come experience the lab :)

We continue to stand for equity as we continue to be a safe space for all. Black lives matter. 

We are offering this film from our 2018 Moving Body - Moving Image Festival which looked at the depiction of the Brown Body on Screen and speaks to our current time:

We have work to do! 
In unity

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!
