Alistair Spalding on dance

“Are you a dancer” is the question that Alistair Spalding gets asked the most. Understandably so, as he runs London’s most successful and internationally renowned dance theatre – Sadler's Wells. 

In our conversation, we discuss communicating ideas through movement, the rock-concert-like creations from Hofesh Schechter and Akram Khan’s tender stories of belonging and identity as well as Sadler's Wells collaborations with creatives such as sculptor Antony Gormley, fashion designer Hussein Chalayan, musician Jamie XX, and artist Olafur Eliasson.
