Move Beyond Words

Move Beyond Words (CIC) supports each individual's relationship and experience with dyslexia by stimulating conversations that surround MBW’s works - such as our podcast, as well as our dance performances, both live and digital. When creating new works we aim for dance organisations to question and consider changes which allow working environments to become healthier and more productive for everyone involved. MBW have been consulting dance organisations and artists since 2020 on best practice and working with Dyslexic creatives alongside making collaborative creative projects. 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. Now, Elizabeth and Charlotte are entering the next stage of their journey. Move Beyond Words is an evolution of Words Fail Me and Innate Beauty, and marks an exciting new chapter for them as artists and collaborators. Their aim is to create artistic environments to amplify the voices of professional artists with dyslexia, providing support and creative solutions for people with dyslexia in the dance industry and beyond. Their work is intended to create conversations challenging the negative connotations surrounding dyslexia.
