MOVEMENT
DIRECTION
WATCHING BODIES MOVE PROFOUNDLY AFFECTS US. OUR MIRROR NEURONS IGNITE A REAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE. KINAESTHETIC EMPATHY IS MOVEMENT’S GREATEST STRENGTH.
ANYONE SEEKING TO TOUCH THEIR AUDIENCE AND TELL A STORY CANNOT LOOK PAST THE BODY.
FROM THE SCREEN TO THE SEAMS. V&A Performance Festival
In Phoebe’s movement direction, performers dive into the physical heritage of their characters, putting all movement and choreography into a wider social, political and cultural context, acknowledging its meaning in relation to character, text, music, design and structure.
On set or stage, she crafts a unique physical language that not only mirrors but enriches the world of the production, guiding performers to embody characters with depth, nuance, and authenticity.
Her process is inclusive, detailed and playful, reflecting her deep-rooted insights into the human condition and her rich background in theatre.

MOVEMENT
TEACHING
Phoebe is intimately familiar with the nitty gritty of the performer's physical body and what it needs. Through her movement teaching, Phoebe leads actors to connect thought, feeling, intention and impulse to radiate out through the body. To enrich the action, language, and the art of storytelling.
In leading drama schools across London, Phoebe guides students through dynamic sessions in movement fundamentals, expressive movement, animal studies, ensemble work, Viewpoints, Laban motion factors and Grotowski techniques, particularly those rooted in the women’s lineage.
Her approach is accessible and inclusive, shaped by her extensive work with SEND Schools, disability-led theatre, and her neurodivergent perspective, encouraging each individual to find their unique inner rhythm that moves them.
ONE-TO-ONE MOVEMENT COACHING
Phoebe offers personalised one-to-one movement coaching for screen and stage actors, guiding them to unlock their full expressive potential. Enabling them to achieve authentic and compelling performances.
Working with Phoebe has been a transformative experience.
She has helped me bridge the gap between my craft and my physical presence as an artist.
Her consistent energy, professionalism, and personalised approach make her an invaluable asset to any creative project.”
