MIDDAY movement series in black over a white rectangle, which sits over a black circle
Founded in 2015, Midday Movement Series (“MIDDAY”) is a BIPOC-led grassroots initiative cultivating a new, diverse generation of dance leaders through professional development, mentorship, and advocacy. By providing focused support to emerging contemporary dance teachers, MIDDAY is creating a leadership pipeline, improving talent retention, and increasing workforce readiness in Metro Boston.
Using principles of eco-conservation, MIDDAY regards teacher-choreographers as "keystone artists" in the dance ecosystem, impacting professional dancers, artistic collaborators, studios and performance venues, funding institutions, audiences, and more through the nature of their work. By helping emerging artists to thrive, MIDDAY is creating far-reaching and long-lasting change in the professional dance sector by harnessing the power of movement to spark individual passion, ignite community spirit, and create cultural transformation.
