1. Movement 12

      Movement 12 are a group of independent dance artists based in and around Brighton who curate an international programme of artist – led professional development opportunities for dance artists.
      The programme creates a variety of contexts for dance artists and their collaborators to come together to support, challenge and expand the work they do.

      We aim to facilitate an environment in which the focus is on process, exploration and discovery rather than on product, and on giving professional dance artists some breathing space in which to train, try things out and explore new territory.

      Movement 12 was launched in the Autumn of 2007 by 8 established Brighton based dance artists.

      Since then we have become known for a diverse programme of performances, talks, salon evenings, performance laboratories, workshops, lecture demonstrations, classes and screenings in venues, indoors and out, across the Brighton and Hove area, with artists from across the globe including:

      Steve Paxton, Jeremy Nelson, Gaby Agis, Lauren Potter, Rahel Vonmoos, Jonathan Burrows, Probe, Scott Smith, Kathy Crick, Lisa Nelson, Atsushi Takenouchi, Charlotte Vincent, Andrea Buckley, Liz Aggiss, Virginia Farman, Sasha Roubicek, Mary Prestidge, Rachel Krische, Hiroko Komiya, Antonia Grove, Matthias Sperling, Henry Montes, CiCi Blumstein, Gill Clarke, Claude Coldy, Simon Vincenzi, Kirstie Simson, Miriam King, Charles Linehan, Rose English, Matteo Fargion, John Smith, Marie-Gabrielle Rotie, Theo Clinkard, John Stirk, Ben Wright and bgroup, Marisa Zanotti, Adrian Russi, Christian Burns, Underground 7, Charlie Morrissey, Becky Edmunds, Lila Dance, Augusto Corrieri, Jean-Hugues Miredin, Keith Turner, Yael Flexer, Henrietta Hale, Ursula Stricker and others.
