“My favourite performance experience has definitely been the second year Historical Project module. Over three weeks we recreated Wayne McGregor’s Polar Sequences and performed it in the Laban Theatre. It was one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had in my life.”

BA (Hons) Contemporary Dance
Second-year BA (Hons) Contemporary Dance students re-imagine works by significant 20th and 21st-century choreographers in this highlight of the year (now re-named Dance Repertory Project).
Examples of previous choreographers include Matthew Bourne, Rosemary Butcher, Sasha Waltz, Uday Shankar (Protima Chatterjee), Merce Cunningham, Martha Graham and Wayne McGregor.
As a final-year BA (Hons) Contemporary Dance student, you will create and tour brand new work alongside established choreographers, preparing you for the pace and focus of the professional working process. Recent choreographers include Sarah Golding, Lea Anderson, Rhys Dennis and Waddah Sinada (Fubunation), Heidi Rustgaard, Divya Kasturi, Alleyne Dance and Freddie Opoku-Addaie.
The world's first graduate dance company, Transitions is renowned for its technical excellence and originality. Each year the company create new works with established and emerging choreographers, touring to UK and international venues.
At Trinity Laban, you will have many opportunities to collaborate and perform with Music and Musical Theatre students.
You may work with composers and musicians to create original music for choreography projects, and will have a place to come together, create and perform projects, building relationships across genres, disciplines and cultures as part of our annual COLAB festival.
Together, you will experiment and innovate, taking audiences to new and exciting places.
As a contemporary dance student, you will be encouraged to create your own work and perform in work created by your peers. Our shows provide platforms to share and observe in a supportive and open-minded environment. Many of our students go on to be successful choreographers and movement directors.
