Our history
Shapes in Motion has been moving professional performers since 2010 and has built up extremely strong industry connections with a multitude of creatives, movement practitioners, companies, facilitators and performers over the years.
In 2016 The MoCap Troupe was formed, a group of emerging MoCap performers, who are now nailing it within the MoCap industry!
In 2022 The Troupe expanded, inviting movers from all areas and movement specialisms beyond just Mocap. We nurture emerging talent as well as those with a mass of experience.
Our troupe coordinator
Our Troupe is coordinated by Movement Coach & Director and founder of Shapes in Motion Sarah Perry, who works closely with all our members to support, develop and help sustain our relevant skills. Sarah also works closely with directors, agents & casting directors to recommend performers for specific projects and productions.
