Michael Clark

Dancer and choreographer, born in Aberdeen, NE Scotland, UK. He trained at the Royal Ballet School, and went on to dance with the Royal Ballet and Ballet Rambert (now Rambert Dance Company). After studying with Merce Cunningham in New York for a short time, he began to choreograph. While developing his own style he worked as a dancer with Karole Armitage in Paris, starting his own company, Dance Umbrella, with Ellen Van Schuylenbruch in 1984. Their works, such as our caca phony (1985) and No Fire Escape in Hell (1986) were designed to shock audiences with their nudity, outrageous costumes, and loud electronic music. In the 1990s he worked in the USA with Stephen Petronio before returning to Britain.
