Paul Davidson
Paul Davidson is a freelance performer and choreographer, both live on stage and through the medium of film. He considers himself experimental and likes to push the boundaries of dance and develop its vocabulary through mixing styles, for example ballet and krump. He believes that dance needs to embrace and incorporate a diversity of media to ensure that it communicates successfully. He strongly believes that dance should be inclusive and that it is crucial that dance explores the state of the world and of society today; he increasingly prefers to create dance that is politically active, exploring the issues that affect us all. Dance must have a story to tell, something to say, a message to give. Paul is a graduate of the MA Dance: Performance programme at LCDS, where he was a member of the inaugural Cohort 01. During the programme he worked with project leaders such as Theo Clinkard, Jenna Jalonen, Hannes Langolf, Paleta, Benjamin Jonsson, AE Company (Aoi Nakamura & Esteban Lecoq), Edivaldo Ernesto, Horacio Macuacua, Jozef Frucek and Alexandra Reynolds under the course leadership of Tom English, Tina Afiyan Breiova and Dr Andrew Sanger and working closely with individual mentor Caroline Lofthouse. |
