Michael Joseph

Visiting Lecturer in Dance

Since completing my training at Rambert School of Ballet & Contemporary Dance 27 years ago, I have consistently worked as a choreographer, dance artist, teacher and DSLR dance filmmaker – nationally and internationally. In 2008, I left my position as Assistant Artistic Director with Union Dance after 23 years to establish my career as an Independent Dance Artist.

My work has been influenced and inspired by an eclectic mix of various choreographers, I had the privilege to work with Bill T Jones, Doug Elkins, Rafael Bonachela, Laurie Booth, B Boys, Axè (Capoeirista), Tom Jobe and Derek Williams.

My movement language fuses different styles of dance using strong Contemporary Dance training as my base whilst incorporating Martial Arts, Brazilian rooted Capoeira, B Boying and Urban Dance styles. Digital Technology has also been in the core of my work and training and I produce digital imagery/film as a key element for the majority of my choreographic work.
