Shobana Jeyasingh Dance Company (SJDC)
Founded in 1988 and funded by Arts Council England, SJDC has produced imaginative, innovative and critically acclaimed work which has given cultural diversity a unique spin, offering insights into the current and critical agendas of national identity and social integration. The company’s work features the work of a wide range of collaborators for design, music, film and theatrical use of new technologies. SJDC has successfully promoted dance as a medium for engagement and entertainment for theatre goer and student alike.
The company tours nationally and internationally including visits to Hong Kong, Singapore, Seoul and New York as well as all the major European cities. SJDC draws its dancers from Britain and abroad most recently from Malaysia, USA, Italy, India and Spain. Dancers are valued creative collaborators in the studio during the making of the dance work as well as performers on stage. SJDC has a long history of imaginative education and outreach work both in schools and in the wider community. It offers apprentice placements for appropriately qualified dance students. The company’s education team delivers a range of workshops, technique classes, and residencies for all ages and levels. Many of these activities feature company dancers, several of whom are skilled and experienced teachers. SJDC was the winner of the Prudential Award for the Arts and was the subject of the BBC documentary 'Inbetween'.
