Catrin Thomas is a Welsh dance artist based in London. As an artist, she explores providing the body with complex challenges to inspire creative practice, seeing how far the human body can be pushed past a preconceived maximum.
Catrin sees dance as a tool to build connections, both with audiences and fellow artists. This pursuit of connection is her primary source of inspiration as an artist. She’s particularly interested in the process of sustaining connections through performance. The act of being seen in a performative space, allowing audiences eyes to follow her movement, is a challenge but one that inspires new movement languages to emerge.
Catrin is a graduate of the MA Dance: Performance programme at LCDS, where she was a member of Cohort 02. During the programme she worked with project leaders such as Dickson Mbi Company, Alexander Whitley Dance Company, Theo Clinkard, Steve Kirkham, Holly Blakey, Hannes Langolf, Seke Chimutengwende, Benjamin Jonsson, Rakesh Sukesh and Alleyne Dance under the course leadership of Tom English, Tina Afiyan Breiova and Dr Andrew Sanger, working closely with individual mentor Joel Glafke.
