John-William Watson is a Yorkshire-based dance theatre maker/director from Leeds. An alumni of The Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp, John became a Sadlers Wells Young Associate Choreographer in 2020, and a Northern Connections Artist in 2021. They are also the co-founder of Another Collective, a dance theatre collective based in Belgium.
Drawing influence from Surrealism, Watson’s highly theatrical work plays with every-day, utilitarian and pedestrian movement. With a focus on the tragi-comedic, their work explores how existential themes can lie beside the everyday and the mundane, not only beautifully and humorously but purposefully. As a result, their work aims to tell the stories around us in the way they are actually presented to us daily; often without sense, or reason.
