Karl Jay-Lewin

I am a choreographer, performer and presenter.  In addition to my dance and performance practice, I am Creative Director of Moray based arts company Bodysurf Scotland, programming and directing their RISE! festival of contemporary dance and performance.  I am co-founder  Culture Café, local arts network and an active member of the local and national arts sector.My  work has been performed in England, Estonia, Greece, Spain, Israel, Sweden, France and throughout Scotland. In 2000 I moved with my family to the Findhorn Eco-village, Moray in North East Scotland.

As a dance maker I’d say my work is generally rooted in the post modern, experimental dance scene, influenced by my eclectic dance training and varied tastes and interests.  I like to push boundaries, explore edges, re-contextualise and generally mix things up a bit.  If anything,  I see my performance work as a quiet cathartic, if irreverent, scream and personal antidote to a world that fundamentally makes very little sense.
