## Resource

In this episode of the Shapes in Motion Podcast, Stephen Moynihan speaks with choreographer and international dance artist Liam Francis, who shares his journey into dance. Reflecting on his early influences and training, Liam discusses how his career began with Zoonation Dance Company before becoming a leading dancer with Rambert Dance Company, where he performed works by some of the world’s most influential choreographers. Liam speaks about the importance of mentorship, artistic curiosity, and the development of an embodied practice shaped by hip hop, contemporary dance, and ballet. He explores the idea of flow state in performance and how collaboration continues to shape his creative voice. The conversation also highlights Liam’s recent choreographic work A Body of Rumours, a project centred on brotherhood, trust, and support among dancers, and his broader ambition to create a hybrid movement language that transcends traditional boundaries.
