About this listen

 In this episode of The Shapes in Motion Podcast, Stephen Moynihan is joined by award-winning Choreographer, Movement Director and Intimacy Director Shelley Maxwell. They discuss her wide-ranging career across musicals, plays, and feature films; and the nuanced differences between choreography and movement direction - distinct roles that call for different skills. Shelley also explores movement as an emotional language, how actors embody feeling, and the ways that movement directors can support that process. Finally, she reflects on the growing recognition of movement practitioners and how industry awards help highlight their vital contributions.
