“My beloved children and grandchildren could not believe their eyes the first time they saw me perform with Moving Memory Co. I continue to baffle and bemuse them with my antics.”

Jane May: Performer

“With some trepidation, some years ago, when Moving Memory was first formed, I agreed to give it a go for a week or two.   I’m still there.  It’s been a wonderful experience – liberating, funny, exhausting but thoroughly worthwhile.”

Bob Karper: Associate Artist

“Moving Memory’s innovative performances beam creativity and joy directly onto the world at large – I’m delighted to work with such a brilliant, brave and furiously fun group of people…”

Jayne Thompson: Performer/Associate Artist

Sian Stevenson: Creative Director

“Working with this company is a total privilege and, quite simply, a joy. We talk of animating the stories of ‘ordinary’ people; as yet I haven’t met an ordinary person.  The stories I have heard and helped shape are endlessly intriguing, and that is what, I believe, brings depth and authenticity to the work and why our audiences keep asking for more.”

Cheryl Pierce: Development Director

Cheryl has been involved with Moving Memory since April 2023, supporting the company’s administration, strategic development and fundraising.

Maryjane Stevens: Creative Facilitator

It feels like all my arts practice and experience have come together now that I’m part of the incredible Moving Memory Dance. The company’s work is beautiful, important and always joyful.

Laura Jeffree: Creative Facilitator

I feel extremely privileged to work as a facilitator for Moving Memory and to deliver our unique practice. Our workshops allow every participant the opportunity to co-create, work as an ensemble & tell their own stories through movement. It’s a joy to see how confidence increases, movement skills  develop, friendships are formed & moods are lifted whilst we groove together. Here’s to many more opportunities to groove well & allow all to be seen & heard.

Luci Napleton: Creative Facilitator

I feel privileged to be part of the Creative Facilitation team & a member of this marvellous company. I have seen participants grow in confidence from groovin in a library or shopping mall to performing in a theatre. Some may never have stepped into a movement session or performed before & extraordinary opportunities have opened up for us all to continue to move, groove & perform our way through life together.
