View the Films×Big Move is a series of dance experiences and discussions that pairs inventive dance artists with wide-ranging areas of research here at Dartmouth.
Breaking the boundaries between disparate forms of knowledge, Big Move reveals the deeper connections between inquiry in the arts, humanities and sciences. The series is part of the Hop's ongoing initiative to integrate the arts across Dartmouth's academic programs, leveraging artists and their work as springboards for interdisciplinary learning.
We dive into the work of a dozen dance artists, following threads through neuroscience, ecology, astronomy, engineering and beyond. Each Big Move offering includes an embodied movement workshop coupled with a conversation involving an expert embedded in a related field.
The Big Move Series is generously supported by Claire Foerster and Daniel S. Bernstein 1987.

If there's anyone in academia who still believes that dance isn't an intellectual pursuit, a new program at Dartmouth College has a message for them: It indisputably is.
Whenever people gather for a workshop, they engage in a kind of temporary culture, a shared set of norms, a certain purpose.
