Monika Pagneux is one of Europe's leading exponents of movement in contemporary theatre. She has studied and worked with Jacques Lecoq, Moshé Feldenkrais, Peter Brook, Complicite and many more teachers, actors, dancers and directors.
Monika's inspirational way of working allows actors to find a flow or unity between their inner psyche and its outer expression. Truth becomes the source of creativity; actions are a result of being, not thinking.
Monika's questioning of her self; 'Who am I?' and her answers, transforms her into a mentor for our troubled times.
This 46-minute film helps to describe her work. In the film Monika explains the entire process in detail along with her thoughts and feelings about movement, performance and theatre. The actors/directors Annabel Arden, Katherine Hunter and Marcello Magni speak in detail about how their work with Monika has influenced their own careers. Actor/director Olivia Yan, Feldenkrais teacher Fiona Battersby and actror Xela Marx also offer contributions.
The film and the book (see Amazon Outside Inside) are relevant to actors, dancers, yoga, Feldenkrais, Pilates and other sports and movement systems and to people working with children.
