M.O.V.E - Moments of Voluntary Expression

Movement based performance created by artists with disabilities lacks a method that puts the artist at the centre. Jan Derbyshire and Tara Cheyenne have been developing MOVE, an innovative person-led creative process

TCP will be advancing the method and creating work with MOVE participants throughout the 2017/18 season.
