Liam Francis Dance Company
Liam Francis Dance Company is a project-based dance company that supports the growth and dissemination of Liam Francis’s choreographic work. Through his work, Liam celebrates collaboration, play and the hybridity of his embodied knowledge (informed by hip-hop, ballet and contemporary dance).
Liam Francis Dance Company has created and presented award winning choreographic works in Brighton, Hannover, London, New York, Paris and Rotterdam. In 2025, Liam Francis Dance Company is excited to premiere extensions of Lyre Liar and A Body of Rumours in collaboration with international partners (SouthEast Dance, Anger CNDC and Theatre de la Ville).
Liam Francis Dance Company’s 5 principles
Investing in Our Neighbours
Expand creative horizons by nurturing the spirit of neighbourhood. By engaging with diverse disciplines, individuals, and communities that enrich our own, we weave a vibrant tapestry of artistic collaboration.
Place Making
Collectively creating experiential worlds that can be transported to an array of locations and audiences. This notion of Place Making extends beyond our performance based work and is also embedded in our outreach work.
Embracing Hybridity
Utilising the full spectrum of our training, experiences and interests to create work. We see the borders of one genre, discipline or idea as the leap pad for further exploration. We approach these often fixed entities like water colours that can bleed into one another.
Advocating for Patient Art Making
We seek to challenge the notion of ‘fast art’ and invest in the process of creation and the excavation of ideas. We endeavour to create art that honours present circumstances with a depth, width and breadth that will allow it to stand the tests of time and be a beacon for rich experiences in the future.
Historic Dance
We want to honour the importance of the past and celebrate the legacy of those who have paved our journey. We want to find ways to make timeless wisdom accessible to fresh, receptive audiences.
