LEIMAY's residency at the New Museum also serves as research for the company's upcoming new work, Becomings, to be shown at the BAM Fisher Theater in September 2013.

On September 16, Movement Research (MR) solicited questions from the greater MR community with regards to the imprint that Judson Dance Theater (1962–64) continues to make on contemporary performance. Four questions were selected by attendees as focus topics for further investigation by artists nominated to lead a series of week-long performance laboratories and open rehearsals at the New Museum. These residencies will culminate in an evening filled with performance, experimentation, and lively debate on December 16 at 3pm. 

MR in Residence at the New Museum
Through a series of discussions, presentations, artist residencies, and town hall meetings, Movement Research reconsiders the legacy, mythology, and permutations of influence that continue to echo from the occasion of Judson Dance Theater (1962-64).
