Ayse Tashkiran explores the emergence of the movement director in contemporary theatre to reveal an ephemeral and shifting practice. The movement director occupies an intimate, shared space with the actor and the director. Through a series of in-depth interviews with leading movement directors, she examines the processes of creativity, collaboration and innovation for the moving body in performance.This volume defines the field, captures the practices and evaluates the work of movement directors through a series of conversations. This is an aspect of theatre that has not been presented or written about previously. In doing so, Tashkiran:- reveals new areas of movement practice- provides insight into the role of the movement director- uncovers a largely unexplored area of history of theatre practice and draws attention to several key practitioners- highlights diverse movement approaches through interviews with a range of movement specialists- teases out the differences/conjunctions between movement direction and choreography- proposes future developments in the field
