Perform Europe Selection Announcement for Moving Kinship

Moving Kinship® has been been awarded a Perform Europe EU grant to tour Feminist Performance Hubs across Europe in 2024-2025.
Moving Kinship® is a sustainable, hybrid and digital touring practice that re-imagines the boundaries between performance, participation and activism. Touring trauma-responsive hubs across geo-political borders, this Perform Europe partnership champions inclusivity, decolonises artistic practice, and nurtures feminist micro-cultures of belonging and care.
Led by transdisciplinary feminist artist, Beatrice Allegranti (Italy), Moving Kinship® partnership includes Gruppo Danza Oggi with associate artists Palliani and Migliorati (Italy), Aigars Larionovs (Latvia), Initium Foundation (Latvia), Association for Dance Movement Therapists (Ukraine), Ukrainian Contemporary Dance Platform (Ukraine) and Bewogen Werken/Job Cornellisen (Netherlands). Engaging professional dance artists, and underrepresented communities, the partnership enacts diversity and artistic advocacy through establishing feminist performance hubs in partner countries. Tailored to local community contexts, the artistic practice (re)generates responses to an established choreographic score. Documented in a film, Moving Kinship® is a feminist call for pluralist and embodied dialogue, resources and accountability.
Hybrid and live-streamed performances will be taking place throughout 2025. Keep up to date on www.movingkinshipeurope & on Instagram: @ballegranti & @movingkinshipeurope
