Welcome to MANX!

Hi, and welcome to MANX! This is Melanie, MANX’s Artistic Director, and I’m so glad you’re here.

Whether you’re eager to merge voice and dance together, are curious about what this is all about, or perhaps are my Mom and you’re just wondering what your daughter is putting on the web, I hope you peruse our site and reach out if something perks your interest :).

MANX, or Movement Arts Nature Exchange, is a sustainability forward arts organization blending dance and opera by curating classes and workshops that integrate movement with singing, and by using podcasting and blogging platforms to further the discussions around interdisciplinary creation. In addition, MANX produces dance/opera fusion performances in with minimal production overhead to encourage sustainable art making practices.

Our first podcast and accompanying blog post will drop early January 2025! Sign up for the MANX mailing list below to get notified when it goes live.

On the MANX podcast and blog, we will dive into the connections between music and movement- what makes this combination so powerful, the science behind these connections, and the implications of these connections in our everyday lives. In addition, we have some amazing guests lined up, and I cannot wait to share their collective knowledge and expertise with you.

For now, I wish you the best during the end of the year holiday chaos. More to come soon in the New Year!

-Melanie
