About the company
Lizzi Kew Ross & Co creates work for the mercurial territory between dance and theatre.
A defining feature of Lizzi Kew Ross & Co is its collective and collaborative approach. Led by artistic director and choreographer Lizzi Kew Ross the company is composed of musicians, dancers, composers, and a creative team that includes a lighting designer and a dramaturg.
The company ethos is to:
‘Ross and Company manage to convey a sense of heavy hearted, even enraging oppression and utter physical depletion…time was measured in gloved hands, placed in a simple pattern along a brick wall. A key question being posed was, what is the difference between embrace and entrapment’
Donald Hutera, Dance Europe, April 2012 on Without Warning at Old Vic Tunnels
'Lizzi Kew Ross's interpretation in dance of themes in my work was very moving for me to see. Her production, developed with the students at the Trinity Laban, was terrific. I was struck by the strong formal compositions and relationships between groups of dancers which put me in mind of the compositions of Poussin.'
