Why become a friend?
What does it mean to become a friend?
How to become a friend?

After careful reflections and several discussions within the team and with our board members, we decided to create the Friends of Moving in November.

The festival has been growing in size and outreach over the past five years, as much as in the diversity of the invited performances. We bridge the international artists coming to Helsinki and the local scene through workshops, conversations, encounters, and presentations. We have a hard time though to find the adequate resources to include works of the local choreographers in the festival program. That’s where the idea for Friends of Moving in November originates.

Becoming a Friend means that your support reinforces Moving in November’s general mission to bring international performing art to Helsinki and to organize a festival. As a Friend, you directly support the presentation of one performance by a Helsinki-based choreographer in the festival program each year.

Regardless of the amount, your support will make a valued contribution to the festival’s development, its program, and its artistic and social initiatives in the Helsinki area.

Friends of Moving in November brings together individuals, foundations, and companies who accompany and support the festival. Joining this colorful community is also an opportunity to look behind the scenes, exclusively encounter artists, and meet our curator.

Warm wishes,
Kerstin Schroth & the Moving in November team
