ARTISTIC POLICY
Walker Dance Park Music is led by choreographer Fin Walker and composer Ben Park. The company makes dance and music that fuses the energy of both disciplines, creating an immediate but complex synthesis. Striking musical composition; athletic and powerful movement; innovative stage design and extraordinary performers are hallmarks of Walker Dance Park Music’s work.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
'In an autumn crammed with dance from the UK and abroad, it already looks like one of the season’s highlights.' The Times (5 2 10)

'One of the UK's most intelligent independent choreographers, Fin Walker makes dance that wordlessly conveys strong and compelling stories about the price of being alive.' Time Out

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
5 2 10 Inspired by the colours and emotions of the chakras, the body’s energy system, 5 2 10 unfolds in seven distinct, yet connected, parts.
