Moving Through
Moving Through: Navigating Pregnancy, Infant Loss, and Infertility through community and movement.
October 2-4, 2026
Balch Street Theatre
Join us October 2nd - 4th, 2026 for an evening of performance and conversation at the Balch Street Theatre in Akron, for the premiere of Moving Through, a new evening-length work exploring the often-unspoken realities of pregnancy loss, infant loss, and infertility. Led by Artistic Director Megan L. Gargano and The Movement Project team, Moving Through is rooted in Gargano’s personal experience. “After the loss of my daughter, Luna, I found myself searching for spaces where I could exist in my grief without needing to explain it. Spaces where I didn’t have to be anything other than where I was. This performance is an offering of that kind of space, for those navigating loss to be held in community, and to know they are not alone. Moving Through creates a space for healing, connection, and advocacy, honoring grief while envisioning a more supported future for all mothers and families.”

Moving Through - Workshop
As part of Moving Through, The Movement Project is offering a free community workshops for individuals navigating pregnancy loss, infant loss, and infertility. Led by Megan L. Gargano and The Movement Project team, the workshop creates a space rooted in care, reflection, and shared understanding.
On August 16, a Community Workshop offers a gentle, supportive space for individuals and families navigating loss to gather in community through guided movement, self-care, and reflection, no artistic or dance experience needed.
The Movement Project was selected as part of the 2025 cohort of ArtsForward grant recipients, a grant program facilitated by ArtsNow aimed to provide resources to support Akron/Summit Cultural Plan’s ten key priorities.
