Launched at the ICA London in February 2006 it features some of dance's most eclectic choreographers - Rafael Bonachela, Nigel Charnock, Jonzi D, Deborah Hay, Shobana Jeyasingh, New Art Club, Stephen Petronio and Kirstie Simson. Their styles range from hip hop and improvisation through dance comedy to metrosexual dance politics and 21st century multi-cultural contemporary dance. Now they have created choreography for anyone who wants to have a go.
All people have to do is enter the move-me booth and follow the choreographer's spoken instructions. They can add their imagination, wit and best dance moves; they can do a solo by their favourite choreographer or they can choose to create their own dance for the camera. There are a variety of ways to experience the move-me booth - from having a laugh with your friends to quiet curiosity or serious dance practice.
The move-me booth records the performances which are then uploaded on to the website at move-me.com to create an ever-growing gallery of video dances.
