Movmnt Creates, and Believes.

Inside the high quality pages of the publication printed on post consumer recycled paper, more than 20 more creators are being featured for their talent, their spirit, but mostly, their believes in their own art.

CRISS ANGEL, WADE ROBSON AND CIRQUE DU SOLEIL: VEGAS SENSATION

Do you Believe in Magic? Criss Angel does. In Movmnt’s cover feature, the renowned illusionist gives insight on creation as a process, a product and an innate part of his vision and passion for Believe, a new show in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil. From one great creative mind to another: a conversation between So You Think You Can Dance performer and choreographer, Travis Wall, and Emmy Award winning choreographer Wade Robson about the inspiration to create movement.

AN INSIDER’S LOOK AT BEYONCE’S NEW VIDEO

Exclusively for Movmnt, co-choreographer JaQuel Knight takes us around the set of Beyoncé’s new video, “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)”, with a backstage pass and never before seen pictures of the Queen B and her pair of Ailey dancers. Along with music reviews of the latest sensation albums, insider fashion portraits, and a look into the life of child Broadway stars, Movmnt contributor Mario Spinetti talks with Atlantic Records artist Marc Broussard about his intentions for his music, his experience with the label, and his collaboration on the new album Keep Coming Back.

Movmnt takes the opportunity to renew its non for profit campaign, Keep it Real, a platform designed to support organizations across the country and bring awareness to a new generation of readers. Editor in Chief David Benaym states that “Keep It Real, is to encourage a sense of civic responsibility within ourselves and in the Movmnt audience. It is designed to help community organizations reach their goals, while at the same time it offers a unique opportunity for performers to use their fame and bring awareness to social issues and help raise funds for organizations with missions close to out hearts.” In 2008, Keep it Real raised and donated $4000 to Dancers Responding to Aids as part of its first initiative by donating DRA 100% of the proceeds from Movmnt’s subscriptions the organization, a branch of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids, which annually collects and holds events in the Dance, Broadway and Theatre communities. Movmnt is also the media partner of two of their main events, The Fire Island Dance Festival during the summer and coming up this January 23rd, Dance from the Heart, a showcase of today and tomorrow’s choreographers to watch – dradance.org
