Bonachela Dance Company is a dynamic touring company under the artistic direction of award-winning choreographer Rafael Bonachela, who is also Artistic Director of Sydney Dance Company. Since its inception in 2006, BDC has built a national and international reputation. Bonachela has choreographed three new evenings of work for the company – Voices, nominated for a 2007 Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Repertoire, Modern and Square Map of Q4, which opened the Venice Biennale for dance in June 2008. In 2009, BDC embarked on its third new production, The Land of Yes and The Land of No, which tours extensively throughout the UK and Europe from June 2009 to March 2010.
Founded on Bonachela’s interest in the physicality and emotional impulse of the body, BDC brings together artists from diverse practices and influences to create work that communicates in vivid and powerful terms about the human condition and human relationships.
