Dear familiar and existing dance archive,
We ask you to forget what you know and to look beyond. Beyond conservative techniques and biased narratives.
Beyond masculine dominance and Eurocentrism. What else exists besides famous and well-studied names?
During a two-day symposium, we gather to share practices and exchange views on how our diverse array of histories inform our dance-making.

Moving Margins is an alter-archive and educational platform for diverse dance practitioners and researchers to exchange and elaborate upon the possible encounters of a variety of dance histories. The project attempts to create a sustainable yet flexible network of knowledge around the shared interest in dance history and the desire to expand it beyond its dominant narrative.
With a focus on people and practices outside of the North American and Western European canon, we aim to establish a more relevant, complete, controversial, and uncomfortable picture of dance history.
Exciting news!!
Touching Margins alter-archive is out of the website and taking place at Galerie Wedding - Space for Contemporary Art
As part of the exhibition THREE SUNS, curated by Nitsan Margaliot, Malte Pieper, and Maja Smoszna; and alongside works by Salwa Aleryani, Maryna Makarenko, and Anastasia Pilepchuk.
