A colorful and lively circus performance scene featuring four performers. The bottom performer, a bearded man in a striped shirt, supports the weight of three others on his shoulders. One performer, in striped red and white, hangs upside down with their arms spread out. The other two performers, both wearing striped clothing, are creatively intertwined above him. The background is a bright red curtain, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of the performance.

About Express Move Me

The company started in 2013 from a desire and a need to create exciting new work. That work had to be energized and explore the physical realms of story telling. We wanted to connect with our audiences on a visceral level. Drawing them into the show and enveloping them in surreal, fantastical worlds.

Our physical theatre training was used to develop all of the early work. It provided the springboard to launch into creating the shows. Using mythology and archetypes, diving into the rich territories they provide, exploring the stories at a deeper level. Which then connected more meaningfully with our audience.

Now we wish to build a community of creatives, providing training tools, and a vocabulary to create. Focusing on constantly developing and honing ones craft and skill. Through a variety of workshops, and creative opportunities and projects.
