	About Moving Spaces...

We are an artist-driven group interested in generating collaborative 
projects through which we can grow.  We seek to experiment with movement, 
voice, music, and improvisation in order to expand our ways of “knowing” a 
text.  Through our production work, we will create a shared world of the 
play that fully utilizes the gifts of each member of the ensemble.  In 
sharing this work with the community, we seek to reaffirm the universality 
of classic plays while entertaining audiences with fresh interpretations of 
texts.  By presenting professional quality productions with indigenous 
Cleveland actors and designers, we hope to engage our community in work that 
challenges notions of self and society at the same time as celebrating human 
potential.  We are committed to the continued growth and vitality of 
Cleveland’s theatre community.  With five theatre educators on staff, we 
offer adults and students the opportunity to play, work, & create!
