Alison Thomas joined ID as Programme Coordinator (0.7) in 2021. She coordinates the projects, events and on-going work of the organisation, and is often the first point of contact for participants, artists and the general public.
Alison is also a freelance producer and choreographer with a fascination for humans. Her interest stems from her degree in Human Geography and Social Psychology from the University of St Andrews, followed by a Creative Practice MA at Trinity Laban. She creates her own work and supports the realisation of others’, motivated by her belief in dance’s communicative power, and its opportunity to connect people. Alison has been mentored by Gary Clarke and Lea Anderson and worked with Studio Wayne McGregor, East London Dance, South East Dance and Dance Xchange. As a producer, she currently works with Sababa Co., Sung Im Her and Elinor Lewis, and has previously supported Taylor Han, Sliding Doors Collective, and Reece Calver. She is also a Trustee of 2Faced Dance Company.
