JMK Workshop: Working with a Movement Director

What can a movement director offer your piece? Movement directing is a broad term for what practitioners working with movement can offer a production. How do we work together to realise physical life into the piece? It can sometimes feel overwhelming for both the director and the movement director at the start of the process. To discover how to make the process more seamless, join Jennifer Jackson for a practical workshop exploring what we mean when we talk about embodied performances and physical languages.

Jennifer is a movement director, actor and theatre maker. Some movement direction includes: Be My Baby/Around The World in 80 Days (Leeds Playhouse), The Dark (Fuel Theatre), Death of a Salesman, Queens of the Coal Age, Our Town (Royal Exchange Theatre), Parliament Square (Bush Theatre & Royal Exchange Theatre), The Mountaintop (Young Vic & National Tour), and Paines Plough Roundabout Seasons 2017 & 2018.

We are working with the JMK Trust to offer early career directors free access to workshop and development opportunities as well as a chance to meet regularly with a group of peers to network and share ideas. For more information about the national JMK trust network please click here.
