Anima Dance Company is a recently established contemporary dance company, formed in 2009 with fellow students from The London Contemporary Dance School, Middlesex University and independent artists.

The company was formed with the objective of researching into the study of movement and presenting conclusions of their research through improvisation, contact improvisation, physical theatre, contemporary and theatre dance. Initially the company focused on presenting the human body performing unnatural, primitive and unusual movement. The name ‘Anima’ represents the company’s propensity to create movement with ‘animalistic’ and ‘animated’ qualities.

Anima Dance Company strives to collaborate with different artists and work in varied environments such as theatre and site-specific, and explore and present original, experimental and accessible work.
