A stunning dancer, an obsessive artist, a palpable loss.

Australian documentary exploring the work of German-born dancer and choreographer Tanja Leidtke whose career was cut short by her unexpected death at age 29. More

In 2007, the Sydney Dance Company appointed Liedtke as their first new artistic director in 30 years. Before she could take up the position she was struck and killed by a truck in the middle of the night. Admired internationally as a dancer and celebrated for her fresh choreographic voice, 18 months after her death her collaborators embark on a world tour of her work.

Life in Movement is interspersed with footage of her artistic process and previously unseen interviews. Hide

      Highly motivated and intense woman who did a lot in her short life. Very moving and definitely worth seeing even if you're not into dancing.

I hadn't heard of Tania and I don't follow dance but the documentary conveyed how much hard work these athletes need to do to accomplish what they do. Tania was a perfectionist but also bit of a character off stage - a sad loss.

A heartfelt and valuable work that documents a remarkable young woman, who would have given us all such a fantastic body of dance work over the years. Full review.
