About Move Beyond Words

We create artistic environments to amplify the voices of professional artists with dyslexia. In 2018, Elizabeth Arifien and Charlotte Edmonds met through Studio Wayne McGregor’s FreeSpace programme. They discovered that as choreographers and artists, they had both been exploring their personal experiences with dyslexia via dance and film. This led to their debut collaboration, Words Fail Me, which was premiered at the V&A’s Dyslexia Creates event in 2019, quickly followed by two appearances at the Royal Opera House with a new commission, Innate Beauty. These concepts were powered by personal experiences explored with Move Beyond Words’ dyslexic collaborators. Now, Elizabeth and Charlotte are entering the next stage of their journey. Move Beyond Words is an evolution of Words Fail Me and Innate Beauty, and marks an exciting new chapter for them as artists and collaborators. Their aim is to create artistic environments to amplify the voices of professional artists with dyslexia, providing support and creative solutions for people with dyslexia in the dance industry and beyond. Their work is intended to create conversations challenging the negative connotations surrounding dyslexia.
