The Craft of the Movement Director
News from one of our Research Grant recipients from 2015: Ayse Tashkiran, who was given a grant to pursue her work on Litz Pisk, has now published (at Bloomsbury/ Methuen Drama):
Movement Directors in Contemporary Theatre – Conversations on Craft
Examining the emergence of the movement director in contemporary theatre, this book explores and evaluates their work in a series of conversations with key practitioners.
When directors understand the value of a movement director they remove any sense of hierarchy within the room and place movement directors firmly by their side for they are and should be their co-pilot, navigating and creating the world of the play.’ — 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
