Moving Theater
MOVING THEATER
Founded in 2003 by artists Brennan Gerard and Ryan Kelly, Moving Theater forges dynamic partnerships to produce performance-based art projects in theaters, galleries, museums, and at unique sites. Filling a crucial niche in the cultural landscape of New York, Moving Theater supports deliberately discipline-defying, frontier-crossing projects through residencies and co-productions, creating sustainable environments for artistic growth and expanding public access to new voices in contemporary performance.
