Harlem Stage, the world-renowned performing arts institution championing the artistic freedom of artists of the Global Majority, will close out the 2025 season with its iconic signature dance series E-Moves Festival: A Movement. For more than 25 years, E-Moves at Harlem Stage has convened the world’s leading choreographers, dancers, companies artists, and musicians of color in an exploration of movement and message.

With over a month of programming planned, this year’s festival will run May 8 through June 14 and will kick off with the highly-regarded Bebe Miller Company (BMC) making its Harlem Stage debut for two days of performances set to commemorate the cross-disciplinary company’s 40 year journey in producing new works that delve into the human condition through the physical language of dance. Founded by visionary and acclaimed award-winning legendary choreographer Bebe Miller,  BMC will premiere a new ensemble work for its first Harlem Stage appearance with Indifferent Forest (2025) centered around how learnings from the forest inspire new approaches to interdependence and dancing on shared ground. The shows will also include two powerful solos from Miller’s canon of work, Rain (1989) and Rhythm Studies (1999) – both standing as an expression of her faith in the moving body as a record of thought, experience, and beauty.
