Shobana Jeyasingh DC

Shobana Jeyasingh Dance (SJD) pushes the possibilities of dance beyond storytelling, to stimulate thought, reaction and sensation through the movement of the human body. Complex, inquisitive, adventurous and always surprising, we challenge expectation, pushing possibilities to create dance pieces that uncover strange beauty. 

We never tread the same path twice. Past works have explored the complexities of human experience, science, classical painting, culinary trends and urban architecture. We use original design, music and technology to complement and counterpoint our dance, embracing harmony and tension. 

Artistic Director Shobana Jeyasingh is the recipient of numerous awards for choreography as well as for her contributions to the dance world through her writings and talks. She was a judge for BBC Young Dancer in both 2017 and 2019, holds honorary doctorates from the universities of Surrey, Leicester and Chicester, and was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from WOW.
