Michelle Man
Michelle Man is a senior lecturer in dance at Edge Hill University, Lancashire, United Kingdom, having been based in Madrid (1989–2012) where she developed her career as a dancer, choreographer and pedagogue. Her choreographic work has been seen in Brazil, Canada, Chile, France, Germany, Italy, Korea, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom, in both theatre and site-sensitive contexts. Man fosters interdisciplinary performance environments, working with architects, composers, designers, musicians and circus artists. In her 30 years of professional experience, she has worked extensively with costume designers in dance, opera, circus and theatre and where possible uses each new project to experiment with different materials and concepts of costuming the moving body. Man perceives costume as inseparable from the performance making experience and where possible accompanies the design, sourcing, fabrication and processes of appropriation on each project.
