Angus Balbernie

Angus Balbernie is an artist working mostly in dance and performance. Over the last 35 years, he’s made over 85 performance pieces, taught, directed and performed across Europe, N+S America, Canada and Asia. He is recognised for his mentoring, practical teaching and research into clear methodologies for choreography, directing and composition, and for his occasional acting/performance roles.

Originally starting in street-theatre in southern France, Angus then trained in Tai Chi in China, before taking a degree at Dartington College of Arts in theatre and dance, with an emphasis on anatomical release and contact improvisation. His ongoing research focuses on somatic and perceptual tunings in choreographic and compositional forms, and in how environmental interaction and wild landscape offer the potential for layered relationships between art, artists, metaphor and nature. This is drawn from a lifetime of climbing/falling off mountains and walking/being in the wilderness. He has been nominated for an Isadora Duncan award in the USA.
