OUR STORY
HISTORY
Move the World
was created after our founder participated in an extraordinary course called Awakening the Dreamer/Changing the Dream, offered by Pachamama Alliance.
In this course, our dream emerged as a dance activism company, empowering youth to become authentic climate activists/performers, and public speakers changing their world. Our first performance was on
Earth Day 2013
. We took on the local and global issues of ocean plastic pollution with our ‘Ban the Plastic Bag’
initiative, which passed in 2016 (but unfortunately now is paused during Covid-19.)
For several years we joined forces with The Advot Project,
performing with them at The Broad Stage
and The
Wallis Performing Arts Center
on behalf of educating incarcerated women and girls. Performing and speaking at countless parades, events, school assemblies, Move the
World
youth have been changing hearts through art since 2013.
We accomplished our first international performance at the Parliament of World Religions Congress in Toronto
for 5000 world leaders in 2018. Our short film, 'Consumed',
a new take on youth consumerism through music, dance and film making, received a My Hero Project Arts Hero Film Award
in 2016.
Our short film is used annually in the Santa Monica College Sustainability Program
to teach students the power of youth, art and activism.
MISSION
Moving us toward social and climate activism through the power of the performing arts, education and social action.
Through our educational programs, MTW
supports it's participants developing their unique voice and a set of practical skills to express genuine activism and a new global vision of equity, sustainability and inclusion.
MTW

Our programs use multimedia, public speaking, interdisciplinary performing arts, visual art, film, and theatrical dance as vehicles to express the urgency of our climate crisis along with scientific solutions that can move humanity forward to a regenerative future.
