Welcome to the European Move Award (Move-A)
Move-A aims to nurture the creation of high quality international visual theatre. Our primary function is to promote greater knowledge and understanding about the genre to wider audiences throughout Europe.
To achieve this we provide directors and managers of festivals, theatres and cultural centres across the continent with a user-friendly means to help them make confident programming choices, encouraging them - through competitive company fees and related expenses - to choose exciting productions of contemporary visual theatre for their events and seasons.
Move-A is an international dialogue between the creators and programmers of visual theatre and unites them in a supportive international network. Each year, using its Quality-Label, Move-A promotes three exciting, high quality productions created by young companies, through their presentation at important national festivals and venues throughout Europe. Meeting once a year, a selection committee made up of leading arts professionals from across the continent selects these shows.
Move-A was founded by: the Crossroadsfestival – Belgium (Central Europe), the COS - International Mime Festival Spain (Southern Europe) and the Waves Festival Vordingborg, Denmark (Northern Europe). Since its foundation in 2010, Move-A has also welcomed new Associate Members from Italy (Arteven), Scotland (the manipulate Visual Theatre Festival) and Finland (the Black & White Theatre Festival), and Network Members from Greece (Busart), Macedonia (Pan-Phys), Netherlands (Theater de Blauwe Kei/ Visuals) and the UK (the Norwich Puppet Theater). Festivals other countries are also in the process of joining Move-A
Performing companies interested in applying for eMIX’s Quality- Label status and support can find out more information about the organisation at its website, where online applications can also be made. Once received, all submissions are carefully reviewed by eMIX’s selection committee. The annual application deadline is: 01.11. You can also contact e-MIX’s office with any questions.
We believe that this international initiative is a compact and efficient platform for the effective and supportive promotion of the visual theatre makers of the future. All we need is the enthusiastic interest and commitment of festival and venue programmers, the unique and exciting performances we present will do the rest.
To the visual theatre of the future!
