Shobana is acclaimed for her pioneering work in choreography hallmarked by excellence and high quality. She is one of the few women leaders in the field of dance and choreography. The company is rooted in a vision of societies that are culturally coherent in new and unexpected ways. Avoiding cliché and stereotype, we produce work that directly resonates with all our day-to-day experiences of many cultures living side-by-side in contemporary cities. We aim to persuade new audiences to enjoy, delight in and be challenged by the best in contemporary dance. Our work is powerful, precise, dynamic, sophisticated and accessible. Adventurous and experimental, Shobana has pioneered collaborations with some of the most exciting musicians and artists of our times. The company has commissioned many new pieces of music, now heard round the world. These include Michael Nyman’s String Quartet No. 2 (Configurations), as well as work with contemporary favourite Kevin Volans. Shobana Jeyasingh Dance has extensive experience of leading imaginative and innovative education work both in schools and in the wider community. We run projects that empower women, inspire girls, encourage young people to engage in intelligent physical activity and support study at all levels.
