Moving with landscapes

​

 

As a Movement Director and Choreographer, Ana’s enthusiasm lies with her strong relationship to wild Scottish landscapes, with the influence on the body through journey within these landscapes integral to her work - finding a flow state through bikepacking and movement.

 

Within this inclusive space, Ana seeks discover movement stories across Scotland and in doing so, research the ways in which people and communities connect to landscape.

 

Actively engaging with movement stories throughout Scotland; on a creelers boat on the West Coast - to learning to cut peat with the community of The Isle of Lewis - experiencing these stories of the moving body and the people interwoven with landscape, inspires Ana to creatively collaborate with communities across the Highlands and Islands. Engaging directly with the people behind their heritage, gives ownership in the sharing of their culture.

​

Through the perspective of movement, Ana see's these experiences as movement heritage.

 

With a timely emphasis and growing focus on the future of our relationships to our Scottish landscapes - Ana is driven to cast urgent eyes on the importance of recognising and understanding our interwoven and unique relationships to these landscapes.​
