About this listen
In this episode of The Shapes in Motion Podcast, Stephen Moynihan speaks with acclaimed choreographer and performer Theo Clinkard about his journey from Cornwall to an international career in dance. Theo reflects on how boarding school shaped his identity, how grief became a catalyst for creating his own work, and the role of authenticity, play, and queerness in his artistic practice.
They explore the challenges facing emerging artists, the importance of mentorship, and the value of local, sustainable creativity outside major cities. Theo also shares insights into his design-led approach to performance and his commitment to creating inclusive, expressive spaces for artists. With a career spanning dance, film, opera, and theatre, Theo has worked with renowned UK choreographers including Matthew Bourne, Wayne McGregor, Siobhan Davies, and Lea Anderson, and more recently brought his expertise to screen as Movement Director on Good Luck to You, Leo Grande (starring Emma Thompson) and Jimpa (starring Olivia Colman and John Lithgow).
