NACHMO (National Choreography Month) is held every January and is a social media driven program that posts daily movement composition prompts throughout the month, supports local artists as they create work throughout the month, and also host community building movement centric events across the US. It is an all inclusive platform that encourages new work and/or pushes current work and is a great creative way to start the new year.
Participants can build a new full length work, dance film, or take part just for fun. All participants are encouraged to video and post themselves completing the prompts to share what they are doing, as well as apply to present their work at the NACHMO Atlanta 2020 Showcase held February 15th. It’s a great way to build positive and creative connections within your community, as well as with other NACHMO participants around the US.
