Fall is in the air, everyone, and that not only means pumpkin spice lattes and diving haphazardly into leaf piles, but also the start of a fresh performing season for many dance companies as well as independent artists. Not only are there new works being made and performances to see, there are also opportunities for classes and other dance-related events. The city of Cleveland and the surrounding area has a great deal to offer during this time, but, unfortunately, it is hard to receive word about what is happening in the dance world. Therefore, I have compiled a list of exciting performances and events coming up for this fall. Get excited, and get your tickets!
Modern dance is an art form that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, shapes, sizes, and abilities.
In preparation for presenting "All Together Now" at Cleveland Public Theatre's DanceWorks series, TMP worked with our resident video artist, Jonny Riese, to film short videos at MOCA Cleveland. At our video shoot, Jonny suggested that we create cinemagraphs. And we asked him... what are cinemagraphs? Cinemagraphs are still photos with minor, repetitive movement.

There is still time to audition for TMP's first summer intensive for dance artists!
One of my favorite things about Cleveland is the passion that it has for arts and culture. Unique to other cities, Cuyahoga County has a tax on cigarettes that goes straight to public arts funding.
Ever since Hubbard Street Dance Chicago came to Cleveland to perform in PlayhouseSquare’s Dance Showcase last fall, I have become a huge fan.
Get to know one of The Movement Project’s newest company members, Irene Honora! Irene, who was born in Colorado and moved to Cleveland as a kid, started interning with TMP last year, and was offered a position as a company member upon her graduation from Ohio University. This week, I had the opportunity to ask her a few questions.
There are some exciting performances happening in Cleveland this month!
At the beginning of every year, the New York Times will post a list of some of the hottest and most exciting places to travel. When the 2015 list came out, I was absolutely shocked to see that, amongst exotic islands and European cities, Cleveland, Ohio was number 21 out of 52.
Where will you dance this month?
Here at TMP, we love autumn (a lot!). And we are not the only Clevelanders who love this season! Cleveland is full of events to celebrate autumn.
Modern dance and technology are an exciting pair - and have been for a long time. Both dance and technology are continually evolving, and so is their relationship. One of the more recent advancements in their relationship is the ability to use drones for dance.
The Movement Project recently performed as part of the Dumbo Dance Festival in Dumbo, Brooklyn. This performance marked the company's first tour, and our NYC debut.
