Multidisciplinary Movement Direction

Led by Malik Nashad Sharpe aka Marikiscrycrycry, Multidisciplinary Movement Direction is a new weekly workshop hosted at London Performance Studios.

Multidisciplinary Movement Direction is a beginners workshop series interrogating wide-ranging approaches to practise of movement direction--looking at the demands and needs of different fields, practices, and ideologies, this workshop will encourage  participants to develop a myriad of their own methodologies in working with movement that respond to the ever-changing and often broad nature of movement work. We will work by responding to unique tasks that echo what one might be asked to achieve in their career as a movement director.
