Leotards, tights, and sweatpants were my daily uniform. My socks were always worn through at the toes from spinning endlessly on the balls of my feet. Dance carried me through high school, through college, and into a life of performing, directing, choreographing, and, now, championing in the world of the arts. Dance has always been more than form or technique; it has been a way of understanding the world, of telling stories that words alone cannot hold.
To now stand at Harlem Stage, surrounded by 50 extraordinary dance makers from all walks of life in one week, is nothing short of a dream realized. These artists do not simply share a love of movement; they share a commitment to justice, to equity, and to the transformative power of storytelling.
Within the bricks and mortar of this sacred space, we are building something larger than a festival. Harlem Stage has always been a sanctuary; a place where artists and audiences gather to imagine a world where ALL people can flourish. And through E-Moves - Ever-Evolving Movement - that vision is alive and in motion.
We believe, deeply, in the power of what Robert F. Kennedy once described as “ripples of hope”; that each act of courage, each creative offering, sends out a current that can bend the arc of our shared future. Every performance you witness this week is one of those ripples.
We are living in a time marked by profound injustice – systemic inequities, hatred, bigotry, and war. These forces can feel insurmountable. But dance has always been a force that breaks through barriers. It dismantles walls. It reminds us of our shared humanity. It brings us back to one another. I am honored to partner with changemaking organizations who share these values: AILEY, Surface Level Podcast, and While We Are Still Here.
This festival is an invitation to witness, to feel, to connect, and to move forward together.
Welcome to E-Moves 2026.
With gratitude and hope,

E-MOVES FESTIVAL 2026
E-Moves Festival 2026 is a dynamic weeklong celebration of dance and movement, April 20-27, illuminating the power of dance to inspire, connect, and move us forward in this moment through performances, masterclasses, screenings, conversations, and free student matinees.
E-Moves Festival 2026 celebrates the 20th Anniversary of WaterWorks. We dedicate this incredible historical marker for Harlem Stage to the extraordinary creative leader and cultural visionary, Patricia Cruz, whose vision and leadership over 25 years created space where it was too often denied. Through her work, hundreds of dance makers of color found not only a platform, but a home for their voices, their stories, and their truths.

Land Acknowledgement
The Harlem Stage Gatehouse sits on land that was stewarded by the Lenape Tribes and was violently overtaken, leading to the death and displacement of countless original inhabitants and stewards of this land. The colonial initiative of the United States of America not only invaded the land stewarded by Indigenous tribes, it also enslaved and exploited millions of Africans stolen from their land to build a free labor force under barbaric conditions that included the separation of families, brutal beatings, rape, and lynching. Harlem Stage seeks to partner with all communities, artists, and institutions of the Global Majority in the struggle for true equity and freedom. Harlem Stage encourages all people to see this acknowledgment as a call to action to join our efforts and our mission to ignite the artistic freedom of performing artists of the Global Majority who are poised to build new artistic works, new ideas, and a new world in which ALL people can flourish.
Our Commitment to the Planet
Harlem Stage’s values are rooted in ensuring a sustainable planet. Because we see climate change as one of the most pressing issues of our time – an issue that disproportionately impacts Black and Brown communities across the globe - we will continue to honor environmental initiatives both in our operations and programming. Our efforts in using less paper, transitioning to LEDs in our tech and operational spaces, and leaning into digital communications, we have reduced our carbon footprint by 2.5 tons this 2024 – 2025 season alone. Finally, we are proud to work with artists, such as Bebe Miller, who will explore the dynamic and thriving ecology of forests, as necessary to a sustainable planet, as part of our Spring 2025 E-Moves Festival.
