‘Rock is my rock. It has been vital to me at a personal level, it has shaped me as an individual as well as an artist’  – Michael Clark.

Company

Michael Clark creates work that combines his classical fluency with a twisted contemporary sensibility that embraces embarrassment, doubt, and fear, as well as grace, virtue and control.

He is renowned for his legendary collaborations with bands, fashion designers and visual artists including Wire, Bodymap, Leigh Bowery, Trojan and Sarah Lucas.

In 2005 Clark became an Artistic Associate at the Barbican. His last work, Stravinsky Project (bite05-07) was a spectacular dance trilogy set to music by Igor Stravinsky. The production received critical acclaim and toured internationally.
