Johnny Autin | Dance Development Officer

Graduating in 2006 from the National Conservatoire (France) in Contemporary Dance and Ballet, Johnny had the opportunity to work with some of France's greatest choreographers. He began teaching, choreographing and directing very early on in his career experimenting with a fusion of different styles: contemporary dance, ballet, street dance, modern jazz and parkour (free running). He has worked internationally in France with Hervé Diasnas, Raphael Cottin and Jean-Vincent Boudic; in Holland with Bart Sluis; in the UK with Kwesi Johnson's Kompany Malakhi (Bristol), Tempered Body Dance Company (London) and Harnisch-Lacey Dance Theatre (Cardiff) as performer and rehearsal director, FFIN Dance, Muddy Icon and C-12 Dance Theatre. Johnny's role as Dance Development Artist will be to implement a new educational and professional development programme across Herefordshire
