About

When you see what it is you want to create, how you want to live, the change you want to see in your community, then movement towards that vision must occur. Movement productions was conceived from these ideals.

Co creators Christine De La Rosa and Olga Texidor have been active in their respective queer communities for over a decade.

Christine has produced numerous prominent national events for women in the last ten years via the co-creation of Butch-Femme.com, the Femme Collective, and in 2006, co-produced the first National Femme Conference. Her work has recently led her to relocate from Dallas, Texas to the SF Bay Area where she continues to be involved in the above-mentioned organizations in addition to co-creating the multiple events of Movement Productions.

Olga (aka DJ Olga T) has been active in the LGBTQ community through her early work with queer youth as an After school Program Coordinator at LYRIC (Lavender Youth Recreation & Information Center) in San Francisco. From there she went on to become the premiere lesbian DJ in the SF Bay Area spinning at nearly every women's club, major queer event and non-profit organization in the Bay Area for over a decade. Her work has led her to co-creating and producing events for women via Movement Productions.

Partners in love and also in business, these two women combined their talents to create more positive change and excitement in their community through a medium that connects very large numbers of women. The lesbian nightlife is this medium. For many in the queer community, going to "the club" is how we meet one another for socializing, networking, flirting, dating, and of course, dancing together sharing positive space. In mid 2009 the pair decided that they wanted to throw the high quality events that they themselves would want to go to. They wanted to create spaces and events where all women, specifically including and targeting the under served population of women of color, would feel welcome and comfortable.

Both have observed and rejected the apparent color division that exists in our community. Given that we as queer people have to deal with the constant challenge of social and legal acceptance and equality from our greater heterosexual counterparts, it makes no sense for us to divide ourselves within our own communities. Christine & Olga prefer to embrace that which most often can bring us together, being queer and loving music. On that premise of positive change Movement Productions strives to provide spaces and events where queer women of color feel included and comfortable while providing a fun and safe space for all lesbians to feel welcome at every event regardless of race, size, age, economic status, ability, gender or any other "ism" that exists to separate us.

Movement Productions exists to create the movement of bodies through music, the movement of narrow-minded thought through the creation of mulit-cultural social integration and the spreading of this movement on a national level through our events.
