Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, DISCO RIOT will present San Diego’s third annual queer-focused movement-arts festival, Queer Mvmnt Fest. Through an intersectional lens, this festival highlights LGBTQIA+ artists with specific emphasis on BIPOC contributors. Queer Mvmnt Fest includes performances, workshops, discussions, and classes for affinity groups and the general public presented by both local and visiting movements artists with the purpose of expanding the visibility of queer artists, advocating and empowering queer voices, and educating the community about queer art practice.
Organization Summary
We achieve our mission through a combination of activities that create opportunities for movement-artists to develop their practice that also invite the general public to explore the impact of movement in their own lives. These activities include classes, artist residencies, networking events, performance opportunities, and online projects. Our key programs like Choreo & _____, S P A C E Alliance Studio Residencies, Queer Mvmnt Fest, Summer and Fall Workshops, and ongoing donation-based classes allow the larger arts community and the public to come together with socially conscious dance as the fulcrum.
