Movement Atelier Company

Movement Atelier has been formed by Zeynep Günsür in Nov.1999. It is a performing company continuously working with people from different backgrounds and with different bodies from ranging ages. In the process they became a proffesional performing company. Their projects concentrating on the body and its expressions use different disciplines. The encounter of space-architecture/ sound-music/ movement- dance/text- literature/ film-media is experimented in various levels. These projects primarily focus on body’s own history and memory. In a way, mental openings and conduct comes before the physical. The atelier continues to dwell into the need of creation in the field of performing arts. It also attempts to inititate different areas of creative research for each individual artist who participate in the company. Therefore each individual artist involves in her own research and share it in a common ground. They define the outcome of this common ground as “movement theater”. Movement Atelier has been a member of Contemporary Performing Arts Initiation Association (ACPAI) from the beginning until the closure of the association.
