(Press Release) Aug. 26, 2024 (WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.) — Natural Movers Foundation is gearing up for its third annual performance, Open Spaces, at the Norton Museum of Art on Saturday, Sept. 28 at 2 p.m. The site-specific performance will feature original works and repertoire by a diverse group of eight Palm Beach County-based dance artists. Works are inspired by specific artworks and spaces at the Museum and will give the community a chance to watch inspiring, transformative choreography in an array of styles, including contemporary, ballet and hip-hop. “This year is critical for us as we grapple with recent news of the state’s arts funding cuts and find ways to pivot our programming,” said Ericka Squire, NMF Founder & CEO. “We are grateful for the Norton Museum of Art’s continued partnership to ensure Open Spaces continues despite this unprecedented setback. This event not only showcases local dance artists—it also gives the community a chance to see that, no matter what comes our way, Palm Beach County’s cultural sector is resilient, creative, and resourceful."
Guests will be led throughout the museum to see each performance up close. Dance films will also be shown. Afterward, guests can enjoy a talk-back session with the choreographers about the inspiration behind their works and why community solidarity and advocating for the arts are more important than ever. “The Norton is delighted to host the Natural Movers Foundation Open Spaces dance performance,” said Glenn Tomlinson, William Randolph Hearst Chief Officer of Learning and Community Engagement. “The choreographers’ interpretations of art on view in the Museum is not only inspiring, but they create a wonderful dialogue among art forms, artists and their audiences.” This year’s featured choreographers include Larry Albright; Olivia Capasso; Claudia Hilda; Savannah Miller; Anna Nunes, AGWA Dance Company; Kristen Vencel, DKDC/DIY Projects; Shizu Yasuda; and Ericka Squire, Ericka Squire//The Dance Company.
