MOVE Ostrava is a platform for contemporary physical arts connecting performing artists, audiences, and cultural institutions with the aim of developing dance and physical theatre in Ostrava and the surrounding region. Since its foundation, MOVE Ostrava has focused on supporting artistic creation, education in contemporary dance, and making performative art accessible to wider audiences. A key activity is the MOVE Fest Ostrava, which has annually presented leading Czech and international artists and performative projects since 2013. Through its carefully curated programme, the festival brings outstanding productions from across the globe to Ostrava, featuring companies such as Jo Strømgren Kompani, Ceren Oran & Moving Borders, and Neskorý sber. MOVE Ostrava is not only a platform for presenting art but also an active producer of new performance works. Its most notable projects include site-specific productions such as Luxury Memories, The Urge, Carpe(t) Diem, Connecting Stations, and the multimedia performance Brave New Life.
