Stories That Move: Developing Dance Narratives is a developmental program for dance narratives. From full-productions, to readings, workshops and residencies. Stories that Move develops work where the choreographer is the primary artist.
Stories That Move is made possible with significant support from the Jerome Robbins Foundation, as well as the Howard Gilman Foundation, the Frederick Loewe Foundation, and the Mertz Gilmore Foundation.
