Thank You for Keeping Ostrava in Motion with MOVE Fest for the 11th Year

More than a year of preparation was condensed into five intense days of MOVE Fest Ostrava 2024, and also thanks to you, Ostrava became a meeting place for global figures in the performative scene. Now, it's time for a huge thanks - for all the energy, strength, movement, and discovery that were present. All of this done with joy, but also with respect for the current situation.

Together, we experienced:

• 15 performances

• with performers from 10 countries (Canada 🇨🇦, USA 🇺🇸, Italy 🇮🇹, Slovakia 🇸🇰, Russia 🇷🇺, France 🇫🇷, Switzerland 🇨🇭, Sweden 🇸🇪, Ukraine 🇺🇦, Norway 🇳🇴)

• 11 festival discussions

• 5 workshops

• 4 Czech premieres

• 2 city interventions

• 1 interactive installation

• 1 expert lecture

• … and countless meetings, inspiration, new collaborations, and charitable support 🙏

A huge thanks goes to:

• The performers who did not give up, even though it was often challenging to reach us due to travel restrictions.

• The team, whose hard work and synergy made MOVE Fest possible for you.

• All the audience members for the energy we created together.

• And our partners and supporters, specifically: the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, the Moravian-Silesian Region, the Municipal District of Moravská Ostrava and Přívoz, the Fund for the Support of the Arts, and the Visegrad Fund.

  
  

If the festival experiences still resonate with you, we would be thrilled if you shared them with us and other fans of dance, new circus, and movement—whether on Facebook, Instagram, or at one of our upcoming events.

Remember, MOVE Fest is just the beginning of the movement season, not the end! Stay with us in motion throughout the year. We look forward to everything the future will bring.
