ARTISTIC POLICY Tom Dale Company creates collaborative performance work through dance with the aim of creating a unique and rich form of expression that reaches out and excites new audiences.Tom Dale’s is a style of its own, fuelled by his background in electronic music and his investigations into uses of gravity, fragmentation, and sequencing patterns. This style makes complex use of explosive yet relaxed movement forms. Tom Dale’s work is highly challenging, and a thrill to both watch and perform.
