Theatre & FILM services
Frances specialises in working in film, theatre and sports environments - anything that moves!
She provides physical consultancy and movement mentoring for various Films and West End Theater Productions and her high-profile clientele include well-known actors and sports people.
From experience, a consistent on-site physical management plan proves much more cost-effective for the productions than outsourcing treatments. The success of having low injury-rates not only lies in fixing show-related issues, but in preventing them from occurring in the first place.
Frances’ package deal includes managing and preventing injuries through:
Physical consultancy and bodywork (injury management)
Closely monitoring for repetitive strain injuries (injury prevention)
Company strength training
Specific role training
Movement coaching for performers, both physically and mentally
Mentoring cast and crew on movement, injury and work-specific issues
Yoga for Performers
This bespoke cast training and therapy assistance supports performers through the intensity of their daily physical demands - both on stage and on screen.
