Movema is a multi-award winning, registered charity based in Liverpool and Bristol, co-founded in 2009 by four ethnically and socio-economically diverse female dance artists. They run an annual programme of classes, performances, events, and festivals, which are easy to access and support people from marginalized backgrounds to take part. Movema’s vision is that World dance is celebrated and enables people to create art, improve their health and well-being, and heal divisions in and between communities. Within this they especially reach out to those who are underserved by the arts.
Movema Co-Director Maria Malone “Movema opens up a space where dances from all cultures are valued and celebrated and where all peoples are valued and celebrated. It’s a space of solidarity, unity and creativity. Big Union is a perfect expression of this ethos, all our participants will be present, bringing their family and friends to celebrate what they have achieved over the past year, meet new people and learn new things. Come and celebrate with us!”
