move close was a club night created by Joseph Morgan Schofield, Sara Sassanelli and Frances Morgan. It brought together dancing, experimental electronic music, and unannounced performance interventions from artists working across dance and live art.
We believe in the transformational power of club dancing - as processing, immersion and escapism. move close is a night for/by/with queer people and we have a commitment to supporting marginalised artists.
move close attempts to carve out a new space for experimental performance within queer nightlife, outside of the form and format of cabaret. ‘DIY’ doesn’t have to mean obtrusive hosting or a lack of curatorial/dramaturgical design. move close cares about the emotional arc of your evening. Your high matters to us!
