Moving in November is a contemporary dance festival organised yearly in the Helsinki area, with a long and important history within Helsinki, Finland and Europe.

Moving in November is an invitation to come together. To experience artistic works from the local scene and abroad. Artists voicing their critical thinking, their visions, their experiences, their dreams, opening small windows to the world we are living in. Our motor, our pleasure, our passion is bringing people together to be affected, moved, challenged, stimulated and triggered by performing arts. We believe in the power that art can generate change, on a political and societal level. We believe in the direct encounters between the artists, their artwork and the audience.

Time is an important resource in our world. We take time, to give time, for encounters and discussions, as much as to the unknown and unexpected. We acknowledge that some issues, development and concerns need time.

Moving in November usually takes place during a limited period of time each year. In combination with this short and intense explosion of festivity in the beginning of November, we also seek ways of spilling the festival over its set time frame. The festival spreads over different locations in the Helsinki metropolitan area through collaborations with different venues such as Stoa, Caisa, Zodiak, Espoo City Theatre and Kunsthalle Helsinki.

Moving in November festival happens around the Helsinki metropolitan area, presenting international and local performing arts in collaboration and in partnership with different venues and organisations.
