#keepmoving #movementworkshops #thebreath

Very excited for this weekends movement fun. Can’t wait to gather, explore, move & play.

We have woven the theme of BREATH into the day. How important is the breath? Where do we start!

Exploring the transformative capacity of the breath & inner space in the morning with @feldenkraisworksuk and its effect on self and characterisation.

Moving onwards in the afternoon with @sarah_perry_movement leading our first in a series of Movers & Makers Workshops. This session; the Breath, inspiring creatives to breathe, to feel, to encourage breath awareness and inviting a select number of participants to co-lead to explore breath in relation to internal & external space in their own way.

Can’t wait to dive deep. See website for details if you’d like to join us on the 14th August at Sadler’s Wells.

We’ll also have the amazing @elliekurttzphoto joining us in the afternoon capturing our explorations, discoveries and more.

Meet Feldenkrais practitioner & Movement Coach Vic

Meet Feldenkrais practitioner & Movement Coach Victoria Worsley @feldenkraisworksuk

We asked Victoria a few questions, here is what she had to say ...

What brought you to Movement & what does Movement mean to you?
I started experimenting with movement in performance at school from about the age of 15. I did my own physical version of Edgar Allen Poe’s ‘Telltale Heart’ without ever having heard of Stephen Berkhov! Then I worked as a stage manager for a troupe from the Jacques Lecoq school at the Edinburgh Festival when I was 16, and on their advice did as many physical theatre workshops as I could manage with Philippe Gaulier and Monika Pagnuex in Paris from the age of 17-19. I did all sorts of performance from then – theatre of all kinds, bits of TV and film but always movement was core for me. How does this person move through the world, how does it feel to be in their skin? What does it feel like inside me when I relate to another actor or the audience or the camera? What does this emotion feel like physically? How does it shape me from the inside? What is the story we are telling in the way we do something - the speed, the quality, the specific use of ourselves individually and as a group? There is no performance without movement – indeed there is no life without movement. So it always seemed like a good idea to get a better understanding of - a better feel for - what I was actually doing.

How is Feldenkrais useful for Performers & Creatives?
The Feldenkrais Method is huge and could be described as an experiential study of human functioning – which is really the territory for performers and creators. How do we do anything? Standing, breathing, reaching, walking, running, pulling, pushing, jumping, making sounds, talking, singing, feeling, connecting to each other and the world – its all in there. One huge factor for creatives is that there are no routine exercises, no fixed protocols, no ‘do it like this’ reducing what an artist does or imagines doing. It is exploratory, improvisatory, a method for finding things out and finding new possibilities ...

Upcoming workshop this Sunday 14th Aug at Sadler's Wells.

@shapesinmotion Troupe of regular Movers & Makers

@shapesinmotion Troupe of regular Movers & Makers range from Actors, Dancers, MoCap Performers, Movement Specialists & more.

Today we put the Spotlight on long-time Contemporary Dancer & now emerging Choreographer & Movement Director @stmoynihan

We asked Stephen a few questions – this is what he had to say…

Who are you and what do you do?
I’m a dancer, performer, choreographer and movement director based in London.

Tell us a little bit about your movement & performance passions
I love developing unique movement languages that will enrich a character and help the audience be immersed in the world being created.

What are you currently working on?
I wrapped as movement director on House of the Dragon, the upcoming Game Of Thrones spin-off, earlier in the year. I’m currently assistant choreographer on The Witcher: Season 3.

Tell us a little bit about your experience with Shapes in Motion
I met Movement Director & Shapes in Motion founder @sarah_perry_movement back in 2016 and joined The Troupe soon after. Sarah helped me move into the world of MoCap/TV/Film from contemporary dance. She ignited my passion and excitement in MoCap and all its possibilities.

What’s your dream job?
Collaborating with creatives who are excited by movement and what it can bring to a project.

What has been one of your creative highlights?
Being part of the movement team with choreographer Alex Reynolds on the upcoming movie Aquaman 2.

What has been one of your most creative challenges?
When costumes, prosthetics and sets are restrictive. Finding a way to hold onto the movement language that has been developed and let the audience see it through the costumes, prosthetics and obstacles on set.

Pearls of wisdom for an emerging performer?
Be as prepared as possible, but be open to change. Last minute changes are almost guaranteed.

How can we find out more about you?

Movement is everywhere and presents itself in an

Movement is everywhere and presents itself in an array of glorious ways. Sometimes we need to take our foot off the brakes (not literally of course) to accelerate & soar and see things from a fresh perspective.

In 2016 Shapes in Motion formed the ‘Mocap Troupe’ a troupe of emerging mocap & pcap performers, movers & artists - a community of creatives; emerging & pioneering in this field. They are now killing it within the industry!

Now in 2022, Shapes in Motion is evolving & moving forwards again - our founding Mocap Troupe members have formed a new Troupe- a Troupe of Movers & Makers. Celebrating all of their talents in their diverse movement fields, still a community of mocap maestros, but also appreciating their skills as dancers, actors, puppeteers, choreographers, stunts, martial artists, mime, aerial & so much more … this is an exciting time & we can’t wait to share the joy of movement with you.

Our new web page has just launched, check it out via website:
https://www.shapesinmotion.com/movers-makers/

If you are interested in hearing more about our new Troupe, who we are, what we do, how to join … then please do get in touch. We would love to hear from you.

More details coming soon.
Keep moving!
