Liam Francis is an international dance artists. Whether leading creations, or as a collaborator in another artists’ work, he tries to let his passion for ‘play’ inform his contributions, decisions and performance. His practice currently seeks to authentically express the hybridity of information he contains; something he’s had the unique privilege of acquiring through working in both hip-hop theatre and contemporary dance. His practice is also informed by his interest in the relationship between Flow state and dance, which has been the focus of his recently completed research Master Degree at Rambert School.

His professional performance career began at Zoonation Dance Company in 2009. Between 2014 and 2021 he was a dancer with Rambert Dance Company; performing and creating roles in works by internationally renowned choreographers such as Mark Baldwin, Christopher Bruce, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Merce Cunningham, Ben Duke, Sharon Eyal, Wayne McGregor, Marion Motin, Patricia Okenwa, Hofesh Shechter, Wim Vandekeybus, Didy Veldman and Alexander Whitley. In 2021 Liam was nominated in Dance Europe's ‘Dancer of the Year’ and Tanz magazine’s ‘Best Male Dancer’.

Liam’s choreographic work has been performed in London, Oxford, New York, Massachusetts and Rome. In 2022 Liam’s duet, Dual Till the Death, received 4 partnership awards at the Rotterdam International Duet Choreography Competition and another award at the Choreography Competition Hannover. He has made works for graduating students at The Place, London Studio Centre and Rambert School, as well as for professional dancers at Rambert and Shechter2.
