marc brew company
Marc Brew Company has been making dance works in the UK and internationally for the past 11 years. We collaborate with a range of disabled and non-disabled performers/artists to reveal the unusual and the inspiring in the everyday and mundane.
Choreographer Marc Brew is renowned for his tender, precise choreographic material that exemplifies the beauty of the moments shared between people. Marc's choreography draws out the unexpected physicality of each performer he works with, helping them to find new ways to work with their bodies. He entwines this newly discovered movement with the emotive nature of human interaction to tell beautiful stories about being.
Extensive experience as a dancer and choreographer with a disability, working with disabled and non-disabled dancers means that he constantly continues to challenge performers expectations of their own limitations. In turn this challenges and inspires both the company and our audiences.
Marc’s unique choreographic style pushes the boundaries of physicality through the exploration of new and exciting movement drawn from a vocabulary of devising on his own body and working in collaboration with other ballet and contemporary dancers. Marc uses visual imagery and employs a very particular use of expressive and descriptive language to prompt the movement he wants to see.
Marc Brew Company is committed to developing innovative collaborative work that interweaves a physicality derivative of strong contemporary dance technique. The choreographer employs the use of line and extension, with intricate folding, placement and re-placement. This complex use of the body fused with a very human content offers audiences a clear, intricate and emotive experience. The works created by the company can be thought of as a series of physical conversations, encounters and interventions that reflect what it is to be human.
Since 2003 Marc Brew has been based in London working as a teacher, choreographer and up until early 2008 as a dancer with CandoCo Dance Company. Recent works have included commissions by Greenwich and Docklands Festival for Liberty Festival at Trafalgar Square, East London Dance for The Big Chair Dance (as part of Big Dance 2008), London Contemporary Dance School (Graduation Dance Season), Small Dances at Stratford Circus, Resolution!, Choreodrome and Touch Wood at The Place. New choreographies for youth dance companies include work for Cando2 and Shift, Bournemouth and Poole College, London Contemporary Dance School and a new series of site specific interventions "Turning the Inside Out" for the InTransit Festival 2008 in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. I was choreographer for the fashion industry's ultimate night of celebration the British Fashion Awards 2009. A stellar night of performance, music and ceremony, attended by celebrities, fashion talent and industry insiders from across the globe. Currently I have choreographed and am performing for the National Theatre of Scotland’s ensemble production of Mary Queen Of Scot’s Got Her Head Chopped Off and Our Teacher’s a Troll.
