Autin Dance Theatre

An established Dance Artist & Choreographer based in Birmingham (UK), working internationally as a performer and choreographer. I am the Creative Director of award-winning Autin Dance Theatre (est. 2013) a collaborative and project-based organisation producing engaging artistic performances that provide an extensive learning and participation programme. My choreographic process is always influenced by socio-political statements and engaged towards positive, empowering and inspiring messages to our audiences.

What will you be working on as part of your residency?

“I am interested in researching and developing an ambitious site-specific piece with a large puppet operated by 5 puppeteers and one dancer. The idea is to choreograph a larger–than–life ‘pas de deux’ and to choreograph this duet as if they were both real-life contemporary dancers.”
