Rhiannon Brace

Graduating in 2000 from the University of Wales - Aberystwyth, Rhiannon has gained experience as a performer in many movement based performances. Her credits include Quicksilver with The Cholmondeleys and The Featherstonehaughs at the Tate Modern, New Art Club's The Invisible People (The Place, Robin Howard Dance Theatre) and as a supporting artist at Carlos Acosta's Premieres at the London Coliseum (2010 and 2011). Rhiannon is concerned with devising contemporary performance which draws upon the ideals of romanticism; bringing beauty to contemporary performance, as a reaction against contemporary works which seek purely to shock or to create art that is 'ugly'. She is further influenced by aspects of Asian theatre to create performance which incorporates music, art, dance and drama and provides the audience with a sensuous theatrical experience, engaging more than just the intellect. Rhiannon loves working with dancers and non-dancers alike. She believes that dance doesn't belong solely to dancers and likes to explore movement on those without a background in dance and performance. She has led movement sessions with the Women's Institute, mums' groups and open public workshops. Rhiannon enjoys working with large numbers of cast to create mass movement and her experience in performing at all four London 2012 ceremonies and in many parades has invigorated this passion.
