In Motion (2022)
In Motion sheds light on the emotional experience of autism, normalising and celebrating different forms of stimming (self-stimulatory behaviour). Stimming is a mode of emotional regulation and expression within the autistic community, which many feel the need to hide or minimise in public.
The film was commissioned by Manchester Collective in response to Michael Gordon’s ‘Weather’ as part of “Northern Voices”. The film was shown as part of a live performance of ‘Weather’ at the RNCM.
