Theo Clinkard

 

Since launching his company in 2012, choreographer, performer and designer, Theo Clinkard has been exploring the communicative potential of the body and the empathetic nature of dance in performance. His works feature unique audience/performer situations that engender fresh ways of experiencing dance.

 

Past company productions include Ordinary Courage (2012), Chalk (2014), Of Land & Tongue (2014), This Bright Field (2017), and current work The Elsewhen Series (2019) co-created with Leah Marojević. His longitudinal work, Century Project is set to launch in 2020 and complete beyond our lifetimes in 2120 whilst Understory (working title) his mid to large-scale Sadler’s Wells commission, will premiere in 2021.

 

Recent commissions include creations for Tanztheatre Wuppertal Pina Bausch, Danza Contemporanea de Cuba and Candoco Dance Company.

 

He is an Associate Artist at Brighton Dome, Dance4, Hall for Cornwall and an Honorary Fellow at Plymouth University.
