Wilkie Branson

Wilkie is an interdisciplinary artist; the focus of his work lies in both dance and film, with origins rooted in b-boying (breakdance). Self-taught in both of these core aspects of his work, his dance style has developed to hold expression, accessibility and integrity at the heart of his practice. He has also choreographed dance work for young people including: Varmints, White Caps and Boing! (Travelling Light); Baddies: the Musical, Minotaur, The Nutcracker and The Mouse King and The Velveteen Rabbit (Unicorn). He was awarded The Arts Foundation Choreographic Fellowship in 2012 and the John Brabourne Award in 2019 in recognition of professional standing within the art of dance and film. He is also a New Wave Associate Artist at Sadler’s Wells and was an original member of the Sadler’s Wells Summer University – an international selection of emerging choreographers. He is currently developing new work for Sadler’s Wells. His new award-winning short film Little Dreams is being screened and broadcast internationally.
