In this episode of the Shapes in Motion Podcast, Stephen is joined by movement director, teacher, and researcher Ayse Tashkiran. They trace Ayse’s journey from discovering her passion for theatre to training at the Lecoq School in Paris and developing her distinctive approach to movement direction. Ayse reflects on her creative process, the influence of her cultural background, and her work as a teacher at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. The conversation also explores her role in the Movement Directors Association, the challenges of recognition and advocacy in the field, and her writing, including her book Movement Directors in Contemporary Theatre, as a way of passing on knowledge to future generations.
