Introducing the next generation of choreographers — John-William Watson

John-William Watson’s work focuses on abstracting and playing with everyday, utilitarian and pedestrian movement.

Using a surrealist lens, this piece takes inspiration from the elements used in silent film to create an entire world around a story, with an unapologetic commitment to musicality, composition and character.

Developed following a series of creative conversations with Associate Artist Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, this film is part of the Sadler’s Wells Young Associates programme, which supports talented 18- to 24-year-olds for two years, providing a crucial first step into their career as choreographers.

Made in collaboration with filmmaker Jacob Sutton
