- Siobhan Davies is an acclaimed British choreographer, founder and artistic director of Siobhan Davies Dance. Her creativity stems from her belief in dance as a wellspring of ideas, knowledge and forms. She began dancing while a student at Art College and soon joined London Contemporary Dance Theatre, founding in 1982 the influential company Second Stride with Richard Alston and Ian Spink. She made her first work in 1972 and formed her own company in 1988, creating since then over 40 works to critical acclaim (Olivier Awards, South Bank Show Award). Siobhan Davies' curiosity has led her to extend her work beyond dance into performance, visual arts, film and crafts. Her company, Siobhan Davies Dance has grown from a touring company into an investigative cultural organisation working across disciplines. Its home, Siobhan Davies Studios in south London, offers a public programme of curated exhibitions and talks, participatory projects and classes. Siobhan Davies has recently developed work for non-theatrical spaces: The Collection (2009) at Victoria Miro Gallery and Siobhan Davies Commissions (2011) at The Bargehouse.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Siobhan Davies Dance
