Imogene Newland is a British artist, pianist, choreographer, director and creator of contemporary performance. Originally trained as a pianist, Imogene became interested in the overlap between gesture-based research in the fields of music performance and choreography in 2003. She has subsequently formed a series of works that address the intimate and intensely physical relation between music and the body. Imogene holds an MA with distinction in choreography from Dartington College of Arts and a Licentiate of the Royal Schools of Music in piano performance. She has recently completed her interdisciplinary practice-led PhD 'The Piano and the Female Body: the Erotic, the Seductive and the Transgressive' at the Sonic Arts Research Centre, Queen's University Belfast.
