This is Jane's latest work, the Closing Ceremonies of the Olympic Winter Games Vancouver 2010. "Anthem" had 1000 energetic teenagers running from a pulsating mosh pit to using their snowboards to create amazing stadium animation. The piece was conceived and directed by the genius mind of Steve Boyd and the whole choreographic team worked with the students over the Winter to set the stadium on fire. 

Moves en Masse formed in July 2010 and is the exciting new venture of Jane Miskovic and Anna Wheatley. Together we have 15 years of experience working on large-scale events both in Australia and internationally. We decided it was time to focus on creating our own business to follow our passion for working with large groups of people in both a creative and a logistical way (and challenge both the right and left hemispheres of our brains!)

We have many exciting plans for the rest of 2010 both at home and overseas, from the UK to the Middle East, working with a few hundred Scottish young adults to tens of thousands of Omani children....yes, we agree that sometimes the work can seem overwhelming but never do we shy away from a challenge to coordinate and choreograph copious quantities of enchanting crowds! Ha!

We will be updating the blog regularly so that we can keep all of our interested parties up to speed with our MOVEments! Here's to an exciting second-half of 2010 :)

This was Jane's first big moment in mass choreography, co-choreographing this section the Opening Ceremony of the Pacific School Games in 2000 at the then Stadium Australia with Liz Moss. Ten thousand students took to the field of play in a mass display of colour and movement after just one rehearsal.
