ABOUT
A well-made building will last a lot longer than people do, and the uses and meanings of the built environment change with every generation.

Much of our previous work has investigated these dynamics, from Kharkiv (Ukraine), where Soviet rule is written in concrete across the cityscape, to Basildon (Essex) where lost memories and unrealised dreams are stored in disused buildings.

Our work is socially engaged and plays with traditional documentary formats, blending interviews with interdisciplinary elements such as movement pieces, live performance, and public interventions.


These are presented in multi-projector screenings, installations, and site-specific events, often in disused or unexpected spaces.


WHO IS MOVING
HOUSE?

Director / Choreographer
Jonathan Ben-Shaul
Jonathan is a community artist and choreographer working on the boundary between dance, architecture, and crafts. He trained at l’ecole Jacques Lecoq. The first Moving House film "What Shall We Do With These Buildings?", was a result of a two-month research project in which he taught movement to architects at the Kharkiv School of Architecture. In addition, he works with La Septima to run annual lantern parades in France and in the UK. He works closely with Peterborough Presents, an Arts Council Portfolio organisation. Most recently he taught the community co-creation module at The Place, bringing together students with residents of the Alexandra and Ainsworth estate in a holistic celebration of the thirty-year anniversary of its Grade II listing.
