Movement Research at the Judson Church is a high visibility, low-tech forum on Monday nights at Judson Memorial Church throughout the fall and spring seasons. The Movement Research at the Judson Church series supports wide-ranging artistic investigations in movement-based forms and provides a platform for artists at various stages of their creative development. 
Movement Research at the Judson Church is a free event and draws audiences from the dance community and general public. Because Movement Research supports creative practice and process, not final product, the Movement Research at the Judson Church series is for exploration of ideas, not a venue for fully produced work on a season’s presentation. 

Application Opens: Monday, December 16, 2024
Application Closes: Tuesday, February 4, 2025

The MR Artist-In-Residence (AIR) program was founded in 1989 in direct response to the needs of early career dance artists. The MR AIR Residency provides early career generative dance artists with a year and a half of support through residency fees, free rehearsal space, professional development, national and international exchange opportunities, and other formats for investigative discourse to NYC-based early artists to support their creative process in a supported and constructive environment.  The MR AIR program offers a “home base” environment that allows artists to interact with a community of peers and explore their artistic interests. The MR AIR program supports early career artists’ engagement in creative research, investigation and experimentation without the requirement and pressure to create a final product. The program is flexible and is customized in collaboration with the participating artists, in order to best serve each artist’s interests, needs and schedules. The MR AIR program offers guidance and administrative support from MR staff, giving participating early career artists, at a critical stage in their development, a solid foundation to further their careers.  The Movement Research Artist-in-Residence Program is funded, in part, by the Jerome Foundation, the Mertz Gilmore Foundation, the Davis/Dauray Family Fund, and the Harkness Foundation for Dance; and by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, and The New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.

This nationwide, educational paid apprenticeship takes place over 14 weeks in the spring of 2025 and is offered to applicants with a demonstrated passion to increase the involvement of those that have been historically underrepresented in American Theater. The program showcases the inner workings of the commercial theater business and Broadway touring.

This intensive educational program begins with 13 weeks of in-depth learning in one of the following Broadway Across America offices: New York City, Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Cincinnati, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, Louisville, Minneapolis, Ottawa, Salt Lake City, and Seattle, where Apprentices will learn about topics like Presenting, Ticketing, Marketing Strategy, Operations, and more. To close out the semester, the Apprentices will travel to New York City for a week of networking, on-the-job learning, and to see Broadway shows.

“Everyone at Broadway Across America and the John Gore Organization is very happy to be launching applications for the fourth year of this program,” said John Gore Organization President Lauren Reid. “We have seen many brilliant early career professionals enter our industry after completing the apprenticeship, and we can’t wait to welcome a new cohort of Apprentices to the program.  We are proud to partner with BTC to create more pathways for the future workforce of the theater community.”

“We’re excited to continue our partnership with Broadway Across America, offering opportunities that uplift underrepresented voices. Through our partnership with BAA, we’re building a more equitable industry," said co-founders of BTC T. Oliver Reid and Warren Adams. "This program provides crucial, hands-on experience for those usually left out of the conversation and helps ensure that the future of American theater reflects the diversity of its artists and audiences.”

The BAA•BTC Regional Apprenticeship works to equip participants with the tools necessary to be successful in the industry. It also provides a foundation of mentors and colleagues to whom they can turn to for support as they pursue a career beyond the stage. Past alumni of the BAA•BTC Regional Apprenticeship program have gone on to work at Tony Awards Productions, Foresight Theatrical, Daryl Roth Productions, Disney Yellow Shoes, Broadway Across America, and more.

“The BAA/BTC Regional Apprenticeship gave me the opportunity to be an insider in an industry that, under ordinary circumstances, had been just out of reach” said, Trey Robinson, Communications Coordinator for Broadway Across America.  “This Apprenticeship has proven a pivotal moment in my professional journey, allowing me a front row seat to witness and learn about the intricacies, challenges, and innovations that shape the theater industry.”

Students pursuing degrees in fields like Arts Administration, Business Administration, Marketing, Public Relations/Communications, Theater Studies, Finance/Accounting, Human Resources, Pre-Law, Arts Ticketing/Sales/Operations, and other fields of study that relate to commercial theater presenting are welcome in the program. A variety of perspectives, backgrounds, abilities, and opinions are very much encouraged to apply.

Expanding Gibney’s support for dance artists in New York City, OPEN INTERVAL is a residency program for emerging and established choreographers created through a pioneering partnership between Gibney and the Simons Foundation’s Science, Society & Culture division. Focusing on research and process to explore the connections between science and dance, the 10-month residency features significant support for two curated artists–a $10,000 stipend and 100 hours of free studio space at Gibney. In OPEN INTERVAL, each choreographer is paired with a scientist based at the Simons Foundation’s Flatiron Institute.
