Mark Crawley

Choreographer Assistant Director Movement Director Dancer Actor

My name is Mark (he/him) and I'm a choreographer and director from London.

My formal training is in ballet and contemporary dance and my passion is combining contemporary movement with sensitive storytelling to create dynamic work with a rich physical vocabulary.

I am fascinated by the bizarre and love exploring ideas of transformation and other-worldly beings- robots, monsters, aliens and animals are right up my street! I want to make work that is sexy, scary and sensitive.

I truly believe everyone can dance and I love working with dances and actors alike to discover how performers can engage physically with one-another to tell exciting stories.
