ARTISTIC POLICY
Rosie Kay Dance Company makes extraordinary dance that takes the performers to the edge of technique, physicality, and pure emotion. Beautiful work with incredible performers and high production values, this is cutting-edge dance. Working particularly with modern composers and classical music, Rosie Kay has developed a clean style that excites audiences. The company also has unique collaborations with international artists (such as Emio Greco|PC).

REVIEW EXTRACTS
An Everest of synchronicity, timing, defined body lines and stamina. For Kay, this choreographic re-interpretation is a triumph. Catch it if you can.
Mary Brennan, The Herald **** (Double Points:K)
A joy to watch from beginning to end.  Dancing in perfect unison…she covers the stage with so much choreography, we're fit to bursting by the end. A fringe must see for all dance fans.
Kelly Apter The Scotsman **** (Double Points:K)
One of our more enterprising young choreographers…Kay’s choreography is a strenuously sensual marriage of polished recklessness splattered with lascivious amusements.
Donald Hutera, The Times (The Wild Party)
