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.
