Siobhan Davies Dance
Damaris McDonald's Company Details
Siobhan Davies Dance is an investigative contemporary arts organisation, founded and led since 1988 by pioneering choreographer Siobhan Davies (CBE). Exploring choreography and movement is at the heart of everything we do. We apply choreography across a range of disciplines and work with artists to develop inventive programmes that engage a wide range of audiences, encouraging alternative ways of experiencing and discussing dance. We also place choreography at the heart of exchanges between teachers, youth leaders and the wider public in an extensive outreach programme that offers alternative ways of experiencing dance. Our mission is to create, stimulate and develop in order to expand the territory of dance within contemporary society. The essence of all of our activities is the application of choreography in contemporary context to highlight and reveal the relevance of movement in how we live and learn. The RIBA award-winning Siobhan Davies Studios opened in 2006 establishing a permanent base for the organisation to create new work and support independent artists. The Studios are a vibrant arts space in central London which hosts a programme of exhibitions, performances, participation projects and new commissions from leading contemporary artists.
