About Us
Clod Ensemble is a performance company founded in 1995 by Suzy Willson (Director/Choreographer) and Paul Clark (Composer).
The combination of movement and music is at the heart of all of our work. We create live performances at different scales, in different locations and for different kinds of venues – from traditional concert halls and theatres to visual arts galleries, public spaces and community centres. Working with inspiring independent artists is core to the character and success of our company.
Our work has been presented at London venues including Sadler’s Wells, Tate Modern, the Royal Academy, the Southbank Centre, the British Academy and the V&A Museum. Further afield, our work has been staged at The Lowry in Salford, the Wales Millenium Centre, the Public Theatre of New York, the Venice Architecture Biennale, in theatres across Europe and Asia, and in village halls across the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
We run a variety of artist development programmes, offering workshops, mentoring and courses to artists of all agers. We also work in schools and universities to support students with choreography, composition and performance making.
Our award-winning Performing Medicine initiative offers arts-based professional development. Performing Medicine supports hundreds of doctors, nurses, NHS managers, hospital workers and medical students each year.
Clod Ensemble is a registered charity and an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation.
