Founded in 1988, The Movement Source is a nonprofit, multi-media modern dance company whose mission is to expand the audience for dance in Arizona by creating exciting, accessible dance works, education programs and events. New works are generated each season to keep audiences and artists motivated, challenged and interested. Many major performances are interpreted for the deaf community, maintaining the company’s commitment to that special population.

Company members represent a broad spectrum of diverse talents and backgrounds that are continually enhanced each season through collaborations with artists from various media (visual artists, musicians, writers, videographers and actors) to create exciting new works integrating their art forms with dance. The company is creative in their approach to choreography, community-based education and performances in theaters and non-traditional sites. The passion for dance, commitment to the community and the emphasis on education are obvious qualities and achievements of the Movement Source.
