Ana Beatriz Meireles
Movement
I am a movement director, choreographer and educator working across the theatre and dance fields. My work spans professional, educational and community projects.
As a creative collaborator, I am keen to bring my embodied knowledge of movement in a way that speaks to the bodies, people, and context of any rehearsal room. I am a tactful practitioner, excited by the way movement can immensely transform the way stories are told and received. I have extensive teaching experience both in dance and theatre contexts and am particularly interested in facilitating spaces that invite agency and play through improvisation.
