What is Feldenkrais?

Feldenkrais can be a valuable tool in sport science, helping athletes to improve their movement patterns, enhance their proprioception, reduce the risk of injury, and optimize their physical performance.

There is an admirable appetite within the Television & Film Industry for projects which place ‘representation’ and ‘diversity’ at their heart. Whilst we applaud this, and whilst at ORCA we believe in re-imagining the status quo when it comes to race, gender, disability, wealth inequality & climate change: we are not interested in optics.

Intelligent Touch - Elite Level Sports Rehab

At ORCA FILM we honour what ‘representation’ & ‘diversity’ really mean. All of our work has been written through the lens of neuro-diversity or disability. And although we welcome the current attention that disability has attracted within the industry, we believe we can - and must - do more.

If we are to take disability as an example - on a macro level: this requires a commitment to an atmosphere of listening & true access. On a micro level: production schedules that work for us all: weekends off, appropriate breaks, a longer lunch break for all, less last minute deadlines, more respect.

Film

ORCA LAB: FILM is a production company, with the founding principle of re-imagining the conditions of filming.

We believe that a more sustainable and inclusive production model leads to more imaginative, high-quality content.

Health

ORCA LAB: HEALTH is a wellness hub that changes how we approach fitness & health.

What if the way we move changes the way we think? What if we could run faster, for longer, by doing less?

We provide new ways of training for everyone: from elite level athletes to musicians, from people recovering from acute & chronic injury, to children with disability.

Education

ORCA LAB: EDUCATION is a collaborative that believes we are long overdue an educational revolution.

We contend that schools were set up along industrial lines, remain antiquated in the way they teach, and that with the advent of Chat GPT, we need to re-think not just what we teach, but how we teach.
