MOVE BEYOND WORDS

In 2018, Elizabeth Arifien and Charlotte Edmonds met through Studio Wayne McGregor’s FreeSpace programme. They discovered that as choreographers and artists, they had both been exploring their personal experiences with dyslexia via dance and film.

This led to their debut collaboration, Words Fail Me, which was premiered at the V&A’s Dyslexia Creates event in 2019, quickly followed by two appearances at the Royal Opera House with a new commission, Innate Beauty. These concepts were powered by personal experiences explored with Move Beyond Words’ dyslexic collaborators.
