Movementtalks was born in 2019 as an online platform which aims at sharing knowledge about artists who work with movement, dance and the body. It started with a series of podcast interviews to makers who explain their practice, their motivation and their inspiration. Their approach to the body is a central topic of the interviews. Movement, as a form of expression and contemporaneity, has a fundamental role in generating connections and strives to share a message which can help change the world we live in.

On fundraising / In conversation with Switch by NDT dancers
Episode 3
Monday, 29 November, 2021
witch is an interdisciplinary annual exhibit created by dancers from around the world to raise money for charity, hosted by Nederlands Dans Theater (NL). Switch provides the dancers of NDT the opportunity to create an entire evening of art and dance. It serves as a chance to choreograph in a professional setting, take the organizational helm, and delve into the other aspects of this art form we may not always experience. It also serves as a platform for any kind of creativity. It all started in 1988 when the dancers of NDT started informally creating their own choreographies in their free time. Interest grew and soon they decided to dedicate an evening in the studios to showcase their creations to their fellow colleagues, they called this evening ‘Workshops’. World renowned choreographers such as Paul Lightfoot, Sol León, Nacho Duato, Jorma Elo, Johan Inger and Medhi Walerski all began their choreographic careers with Switch. Over the past decades, Switch as a project has grown in both popularity and diversity, while developing into a full evening of dance. This allowed Switch to serve the greater purpose of supporting numerous charities and act as an ever-changing creative platform for all forms of artistic expression, becoming the Switch we know today.
