Tim Claydon
Choreographer & Movement Director
Tim trained in classical dance at The Arts Educational School and, after a twenty-year career as a ballet dancer and aerial artist, specialising in harness and double trapeze, now works internationally as a choreographer and movement director.
“Un Giorno di Regno - Garsington Opera
Alden and his cast generated so much fun on stage, the choreography was so sharp and the music was played and sung with so much beauty and energy... Choreographer Tim Claydon gets them performing hilarious but beautifully crafted dance moves”
“Cavalleria Rusticana - Opera North
Tim Claydon’s rich and meaningful movement direction is a key element in the resounding success of this show. Meaning drips from every gesture.”
“Orfeo / Dido - The Grange Festival
Tim Claydon’s choreography is stylised and buoyant, and The Sixteen relish the opportunity to embody the energy of Gluck’s score physically as well as vocally.”
