Sarah Perry

Acting and Movement Coach

Welcome to my website. I am the Company Founder and Director of: Shapes In Motion Ltd. WWW.SHAPESINMOTION.COM A company set up to offer Acting & Movement Coaching, Acting & Movement training specifically for Animators and Yoga Teaching.

Since 2008,I have been working with MPC (The Moving Picture Company) as a tutor and more recently, as an acting/movement coach, working with the animators and visual effects artists. I am a trained actor with a fascination for movement and a keen interest in acting/ movement coaching, so as to explore the creative potentials that the body has to offer. I work with actors and animators to explore their physical vocabulary and release physical tensions, so as to inspire creativity; to raise the awareness of the subtleties of acting through the use of the body and movement, as well as through voice and text; to guide the creators to research further into their own movement habits and potential and then to work specifically on a particular character's movement qualities.

My approach is ecclectic drawing ideas predominantly from Practitioners such as: Laban, Stanislavski and Michael Chekhov. Also, drawing from practices such as: Yoga, Contact Improvisation, Feldenkrais and many more.

Research is also a key component to my work. For instance, if a character has a particular illness or comes from a specific culture or time, then this obviously has to be researched and explored, so as to implement particular behaviourisms into an actor's or animator's body/animation.

I offer private classes, workshops and courses for small groups and corporate packages. Please email me for further information. Visit www.shapesinmotion.com for further information.
