The Cholmondeleys

The Cholmondeleys are a London-based, all-female contemporary dance company, described by Arts Council England as "one of the leading contemporary dance companies in Britain," presenting work that "is diverse, witty and instantly recognisable."[1]

History

The Cholmondeleys were formed by Lea Anderson (now Artistic Director/Choreographer), Teresa Barker and Gaynor Coward in 1984 after they graduated from the Laban Centre for Movement and Dance (today Trinity Laban).[2]

In 1988 Anderson established an all-male company The Featherstonehaughs.

In 2011, both companies were reported to be disbanding at the end of the year, due to the loss of Arts Council grants.[3]

Work

Works choreographed by Anderson for The Cholmondeleys include:

  • Flesh And Blood (1989/1997)
  • Cold Sweat (1990)
  • Walky Talky (1992)
  • Metalcholica (1994)
  • Car (1995/96)

gollark: Labels are 32 characters and there are 167 characters, if I IIRC correctly, so you actually get about 600 bytes/second.
gollark: Actually, you won't get much better than 240 bytes/s, just roughly that.
gollark: Adjacent computers can read each other's labels.
gollark: You can actually do much better than that using labels.
