Rosie Kay Dance Company

BRAVE NEW DANCE THAT THRILLS AND MOVES PEOPLE

Rosie Kay Dance Company creates brave new dance in Birmingham that tours to audiences at home and abroad. We thrill and move a diverse public with relevant, important, political and meaningful dance responding to contemporary society from a female perspective. We engage participants from the hardest to reach parts of society and treat them as future professionals. We believe that watching or participating in dance has the power to transform hearts and minds.

THE WORK

RKDC has a reputation for making bold, original and exciting works that challenge perceptions and take on innovative subjects. Highly physical, with astute performances and intense athleticism, we make works that excite audiences with a visceral experience they feel in their bodies and minds. We aim to connect with our audience and are interested in building new audiences and attracting people who may have never seen first-rate contemporary dance before. We make a dynamic range of shows, always exploring in exciting ways what dance can be and how dance can be presented.

STRUCTURE

RKDC is based in Birmingham where new works are made and premiered through partnerships with dance organisations and theatres before touring the UK and abroad. The company is based on a strong partnership between Artistic Director Rosie Kay and Executive Director James Preston with an established team of freelancers contracted for each project. RKDC is an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation and Associate of Birmingham Hippodrome.
