Sagovsky is an international artist specialising in movement, somatics, & live performance. Her work facilitates embodied experiences to help people connect better to themselves, others, & the world. She works across theatre, dance, & live art as a director, movement director, & choreographer; as well as doing extensive work as a researcher, writer, teacher, & workshop facilitator.

As Artistic Director of MOVING DUST, Sagovsky creates artworks that are hybrid in form, blurring the boundaries between theatre, dance, installation, & live art. Past work has been performed to critical acclaim across the UK, including at The Soho Theatre, The Bush, The Arcola, & Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It has been described as: “raw, uncompromising & very beautiful… leaving vapour trails of brilliance in its wake” (The List); “deeply moving…provocative & stimulating” (Scotsman); “smart, sensitive, & strongly performed” (The Stage).

Sagovsky has also worked as a movement specialist in many contexts, including at Shakespeare’s Globe, the Royal Shakespeare Company, & the National Theatre. She has taught Actor Movement at conservatoires both nationally & internationally, including LAMDA, RCSSD, RCS, Oxford School of Drama, Rose Bruford, UniArts (Finland), AFDA Film School (South Africa).

As Director & Co-Founder of STUDIO SOMA, Sagovsky regularly teaches Feldenkrais classes, Somatic Performer trainings, & specialist workshops for the studio, as well as developing their ongoing programme. Having completed a four-year professional training, she is a qualified practitioner of the Feldenkrais Method & a member of the Feldenkrais Guild UK.

Research is an important part of her artistic practice. Her first book Laban’s Efforts in Action: An Actor Movement Handbook was co-written with Vanessa Ewan & published by Bloomsbury (2019). Her current research focus is on: Rewilding Play: Somatic Improvisation, Performance, & Eco-consciousness.
