Making Moves: Memphis

The National Center for Choreography-Akron (NCCAkron) will present Making Moves: Memphis on Saturday, April 25 at the Memphis Listening Lab. Making Moves: Memphis is a free event with arts leaders from Memphis and across the U.S discussing the invisible labor and process beyond arts administration. This free event will include case studies exploring themes of arts ecosystem building, adaptive thinking, and applying creative practices to administrative operations. Panelists will include Dacquiri Baptiste (Memphis, TN), Christy Bolingbroke (Akron, OH), Makini (Durham, NC), Marico “Dr. Rico” Flake (Memphis, TN), Marcellus Harper (Memphis, TN), DeMarcus Akeem Suggs (Memphis, TN), and Kevin Thomas (Memphis, TN).

NCCAkron is the only currently operating national center for choreography in the U.S., a research and development hub for dance. Artists on Creative Administration: A Workbook from the National Center for Choreography is an arts and creative life book recently published in 2024 by The University of Akron Press. Edited by artist/cultural strategist Tonya Lockyer (Suquamish, WA) this book features essays from and interviews with 30 artists and advocates from the dance and performing arts worlds, sharing first-hand stories of creative administration in action through case studies, interviews, life tools, and experiments.
