About Body Talks Movement CIC
We are an ambitious, growing Community Interest Company (CIC) delivering innovative dance-film programmes for children and young people. We help children find their voices through movement using film to record their dances and connect with other BTM participants nationally and globally. Our work spans schools, SEND settings, and community organisations across the UK, alongside the creation of films and large-scale audio/visual installations in public spaces and galleries.
Our approach combines creative dance, filmmaking, and trauma-informed practice to support children’s wellbeing, confidence, and emotional expression—helping them discover what their bodies already know how to do: move, express, connect, and heal.
