THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISSOCIA, Photographer: Marc Brenner
Movement Direction
Angela's skills and interest in the physical-life of a piece bring into focus the subtle details of characterisation and the larger details of ensemble movement and the space that is being created & shaped.
Specific interests include: - devising of original material and physical vocabulary (with our without text, naturalism and stylised) - characterisation & embodiment work - working with & in inclusive & integrated spaces that celebrate difference - ensemble development & ensemble creation - creating environment/ atmosphere, crowd scenes, movement scores and sequences - collaborating with different performance artists (i.e. actors, directors, circus artists, writers, makers)
Angela works with the belief that each action has an intention. Every movement - individually and collectively, in abstraction and in naturalism - has a thought behind it that is grounded in the actor/performer.
Angela does movement support & direction on 3rd year shows at RADA.
Through collaborating with director, designers and actors I work to create material and physical vocabulary to help manifest the world of the piece and express the story being shared. - Angela
