This fall, we bring you a season of performances, talks, screenings, concerts, and incidents that build bridges between our human senses and explore the limits of the arts, sciences, and technology. We invite you to join the quest for new perspectives, engaging with the stimulating and occasionally provocative events.

EMPAC announces the three recipients of this year’s EMPAC DANCE MOViES Commission. Chosen out of 69 proposals, the projects range widely in format, style, and intent: from a multichannel video installation to exploration of movement and music in flight. Each project reinforces the quality and inventiveness that has typified previous DANCE MOViES Commission recipients while continuing to push the definition of what dance on screen can be. All projects will be developed and produced at EMPAC, taking advantage of full production support while in residence.
