Movementtalks was born in 2019 as an online platform which aims at sharing knowledge about artists who work with movement, dance and the body. It started with a series of podcast interviews to makers who explain their practice, their motivation and their inspiration. Their approach to the body is a central topic of the interviews. Movement, as a form of expression and contemporaneity, has a fundamental role in generating connections and strives to share a message which can help change the world we live in.

On fundraising / In conversation with Switch by NDT dancers
<p><strong>witch</strong> is an interdisciplinary annual exhibit created by dancers from around the world to raise money for charity, hosted by Nederlands Dans Theater (NL). Switch provides the dancers of NDT the opportunity to create an entire evening of art and dance. It serves as a chance to choreograph in a professional setting, take the organizational helm, and delve into the other aspects of this art form we may not always experience. It also serves as a platform for any kind of creativity.</p> <p>It all started in 1988 when the dancers of NDT started informally creating their own choreographies in their free time. Interest grew and soon they decided to dedicate an evening in the studios to showcase their creations to their fellow colleagues, they called this evening ‘Workshops’. World renowned choreographers such as Paul Lightfoot, Sol León, Nacho Duato, Jorma Elo, Johan Inger and Medhi Walerski all began their choreographic careers with Switch. Over the past decades, Switch as a project has grown in both popularity and diversity, while developing into a full evening of dance. This allowed Switch to serve the greater purpose of supporting numerous charities and act as an ever-changing creative platform for all forms of artistic expression, becoming the Switch we know today.</p> <p><br></p>

On CO2 Emission/in conversation with Stina Dahlström and Jérôme Bel
<p>Movementtalks had the chance to be in conversation with Cullberg managing director Stina Dahlström and choreographer Jérôme Bel. Here they share their opinion and goals concerning the emission of CO2 in the atmosphere and the contemporary world of performance.</p> <p>Stina Dahlström was born in 1982 in Kiruna. She has an education in literature, dance, theatre, economics and project management at the University of Stockholm.

Jérôme Bel (1995) is based on the total nudity of the performers. Shirtology (1997) presents an actor wearing many T-shirts. The last performance (1998) quotes a solo by the choreographer Susanne Linke, as well as Hamlet and André Agassi. Xavier Le Roy (2000) was claimed by Jérôme Bel as his own, but was actually choreographed by Xavier Le Roy. The show must go on (2001) brings toghether twenty performers, nineteen pop songs and one DJ. Véronique Doisneau (2004) is a solo on the work of the dancer Véronique Doisneau, from the Paris Opera. Isabel Torres (2005), for the ballet of the Teatro Municipal of Rio de Janeiro, is its Brazilian version. Pichet Klunchun and myself (2005) was created in Bangkok with the Thai traditional dancer Pichet Klunchun.

Dancing as if nobody is watching (2018) and the reading of the Lecture on nothing by John Cage call for a contemplative aesthetic attitude. With Retrospective, Jérôme Bel goes back through his video archives and makes a cross section within his corpus, to better bring out the linkage between dance and politics. Isadora Duncan (2019) paints a picture of this choreographer. In 2013 Emails 2009-2010, written with the French choreographer Boris Charmatz, is edited (Les Presses du Réel).
