General Information
The CENTER FOR MOVEMENT is an organisation which focuses on cooperation between areas of the Mediterranean, supports a vision of European integration, and engages the best creative and business minds to identify, develop and produce contemporary art and theatre. Our intention is to make our projects sustainable. The Center aims to build a bridge between Mediterranean countries in the field of innovative and experimental art and theatre, and seeks to encourage practical experience and artistic and cultural exchange through international cooperation. Through art education it supports independent theatre dancers and actors of independent production and culture, as well as critical and theoretical discourses. The CENTER FOR MOVEMENT’s annual programmes in the field of contemporary and independent theatre include dance projects and performances, workshops, round tables, lectures, film and video projects, as well as the gathering and improving queer culture (LGBT population and culture) in Split at the Youth Centre – centre for independent art culture - where it is situated. In partnership with the organizations Domino and Queer Zagreb, we are also conducting events and art initiatives on various issues of interest to the LGBTIQ community – project Queer Split /Cross gender Queer Split.
