Artist Resources

Artist-centered programming focused on paid opportunities, artistic growth, and meaningful resources.

ARTIST RESOURCES

Seen: CLE

Seen: CLE is a semi-annual studio showing hosted by The Movement Project that showcases works-in-progress by local, independent dance artists. The goal of Seen is to provide a platform for artistic vulnerability - there are no strict rules, no budgets, no time requirements, and no genre restrictions. Seen: CLE fosters connection, dialogue, and support among artists while strengthening the Northeast Ohio dance community. Whether presenting a new idea, revisiting an unfinished work, or simply testing something out, artists are invited to show up, take risks, and be seen.

LINK Choreographer Residency

The LINK Choreographer Residency supports choreographers in their creative work while connecting them with communities across Northeast Ohio, linking the artistic landscapes of Akron and Cleveland. By placing artists at the center, LINK helps cultivate a sustainable dance ecosystem, one where choreographers can thrive, communities stay engaged, and the creative corridor between Akron and Cleveland continues to grow.
