— Joan Iyiola
Movement directors work with the physical, living bodies at the heart of theatre productions, creating movement languages with actors and directors. Through a series of in-depth interviews with leading theatre practitioners, Ayse Tashkiran charts the growth of the movement director in contemporary theatre. The voices of Jane Gibson, Sue Lefton, Kate Flatt, Toby Sedgwick, Siân Williams, Struan Leslie, Ellen Kane, Peter Darling, Steven Hoggett, Ann Yee, Imogen Knight and Shelley Maxwell explore processes of creativity, collaboration and innovation for the moving body in performance.
The conversations open up:
Growth of movement direction through the 20th century
New insights into embodied theatre practice
Diverse movement approaches and creative preparation
Physical trainings and influences
Working methods with directors and actors in the rehearsal room
Movement for actors in opera, film, television and musical theatre
Relationships between movement direction and theatre choreography
Potential future developments in the field
