…………………………….
MeenMoves creates socially relevant, quirky, highly technical dance-theater works for stage and film. Under the artistic direction of Sameena Mitta, MeenMoves explores questions of identity, focusing on the unique perspectives of those who check “none-of-the-above.” MeenMoves aims to reflect a diversity of worldviews, collaborate early and often with music makers, offer audiences pay-what-you-can options, welcome audiences who may not otherwise turn to or have access to dance, and to amplify the voices of underrepresented creatives of color, particularly those of Muslim women.
Sameena Mitta is the artistic director of MeenMoves dance-theater company and its outreach program, MadHops, with notable residencies including 92NY Harkness Dance Center and NJPAC. Her work has been showcased at major venues such as Little Island, BAM Fisher, and Judson Church, and she has received prestigious awards like the 2023 Choreographic Fellowship from the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation. A passionate advocate for diversity in dance, Mitta mentors emerging artists and serves on various dance juries while continuing to create socially relevant, technical dance-theater works that address identity and social issues.
