Untellable’s Movement Theatre Incubator Program
As digital performance grows, it creates opportunities for live performance to emphasize its unique strengths, particularly the power of the body. While digital media gets a big tick for accessibility and reach, live performance offers an irreplaceable, visceral experience where the physical presence of performers create a profound connection with the audience.
Untellable Movement Theatre's Incubator aims to showcase the power of the body, enhance physical literacy, and inspire playwrights to incorporate movement as a fundamental element in their scripts.
The Incubator Program is dedicated to fostering innovative movement-based storytelling. We are passionate about collaborating with playwrights to help shape language for movement within their texts, creating a seamless blend of narrative and physical expression.
What We Offer
In-Kind Movement Dramaturgy: Our Incubator Program provides invaluable support in the form of in-kind movement dramaturgy. Our experts work closely with playwrights and directors to develop and refine movement language, ensuring that every gesture, posture, and physical interaction enhances the storytelling.
Vibrant Workshop Environment: We offer a dynamic and supportive environment for play workshops. Here, artists can experiment, take risks, and explore new ideas without constraints. Our workshops are designed to be a collaborative space where movement is not just encouraged but is a central focus of the creative process.
Why Movement Matters
In live theatre, the body is an essential storytelling tool. It conveys emotions, builds worlds, and connects with the audience on a visceral level. By making movement a cornerstone of our Incubator Program, we aim to:
Enhance Storytelling: Movement can express what words cannot. It adds layers of meaning and emotional depth, making the narrative richer and more engaging.
Create Immersive Experiences: Movement draws audiences into the world of the play, making them feel like active participants rather than passive observers.
Celebrate Physicality: In a time when digital screens dominate, live performance celebrates the beauty and power of the human body in motion.
For Artists
Whether you are refining a long-term project or developing a new piece, our Incubator Program is designed to nurture your artistic growth and inspire groundbreaking performance art. We invite playwrights, directors, and choreographers to join us in this journey of exploration and innovation. Together, we can push the boundaries of what live theatre can achieve and celebrate the unique power of movement.
