| Directors: | Sophie Hyde, Bryan Mason |
| Actors: |
The sudden death in 2007 of dancer and choreographer Tanja Liedtke brings life into sharp focus. A film about moving creatively through life and loss, Life in Movement is a portrait of an obsessive artist at work and the impact her life and death has on her collaborators.
In 2007, Tanja Liedtke was appointed to succeed Graeme Murphy as Artistic Director of the Sydney Dance Company. Before she could take up the position, the dedicated 29-year-old dancer/choreographer was tragically killed in a road accident.
Eighteen months later, Tanja’s still-grieving collaborators (including her partner Sol Ulbrich) embark on an international tour of her award-winning productions. The performances and on-tour interviews, along with intimate footage of Tanja’s creative process and previously unseen recordings, provide a moving celebration of her creative life.

A terrific film, that's inherently so very sad.
My children and I were initially baffled by the performances, they were alien, nothing we could connect to, nothing we could instinctively feel or understand. Like unfamiliar mathematical formula. We had to learn throughout the length of the film to begin to decode. Then what was going on in the performances began to make sense. Then we could think more widely and broadly and begin to apply the performances to real life situations. I get that not everyone likes what I call weird performance stuff, however, I would recommend this film to those who enjoy real tales about real people, especially interesting, unique and vibrant people.
