Siobhan Davies Dance is one of the UK's leading contemporary dance companies founded in 1988 by Siobhan Davies, previously a dancer and choreographer with the London Contemporary Dance Theatre. She was also Associate Choreographer for Rambert Dance Company during Richard Alston's directorship.
After a 17-year long peripatetic existence, the company moved to the new Siobhan Davies Studios in Southwark, London, in January 2006. The building regularly hosts visiting companies, artists and events. It also runs a programme of classes and workshops. The touring company produces and performs the work of Siobhan Davies. In addition to touring in the UK and abroad, the company regularly takes part in the annual Dance Umbrella season.
