Sally Knight

• Sally is a choreographer, movement director, creative producer and educator, and is the Artistic Director of Cscape. 

  Undertaking her professional dance and choreography training at Laban (now Trinity Laban), Sally co-founded Cscape in 2003.  She has worked with Cscape on all projects and productions to date, initially working as a dancer/performer, and progressing into choreography and directing whilst producing and managing many of the company’s projects.   She has performed on stages as diverse as Glastonbury Festival and the RSC Stratford-upon-Avon, alongside remote islands and tropical gardens and specialises in creating highly physical work, rich in character, story and humour for large scale outdoor sites and small scale indoor touring shows. Sally loves to create work that translates across all age ranges. With one foot in dance and the other firmly in theatre, Sally is a true collaborator at heart and works closely with professional dancers, actors, directors, musicians, designers and producers.

  Alongside her work with Cscape, Sally has worked with and for many companies including:  

• o-region (performer in Nadelik), Kneehigh Theatre (performer in Don John), Off the Wall Vertical Dance Company (associate choreographer), Minack Productions (movement director on Tom’s Midnight Garden), Mike Shepherd (movement director) Calvino NIghts), Cousin Jacks (movement director on Operation Neptune and movement consultant on the Mousehole Cat).  She works for Hall for Cornwall managing the Get Creative team.

• As an educator and movement teacher with 20 years experience, Sally has worked across a broad range of contexts from pre-schools through to care settings, and this directly feeds in to the theatre and dance work she creates which is greatly inspired by the connections and interactions she has within the community. Sally was an Associate Lecturer at Falmouth University for 12 years specialising in Actor movement training and is also a Pilates teacher qualifying with Pilates Foundation in 2010.
