Thomas Woodman

ESCALATOR COMMISSIONED CHOREOGRAPHER



 

Thomas Woodman is a Naarm/Melbourne-based dancer and choreographer who works in various contexts. He completed a BFA in Dance (2015) with Honours through the Visual Art School (2019) at the Victorian College of the Arts.

As a performer, Thomas has worked with a number of artists, including Russell Dumas and particularly Jo Lloyd of late (since 2018). His choreographic work is preoccupied with human and non-human encounters, the micro and macro, multiplicity, eschewing notions of originality (how original…), the influence of mass media, and the function of imagination in performance and beyond.

Thomas has shared multiple choreographic works, most recently presenting Echo at Dancehouse (2024) and A dead-end in itself at Temperance Hall (2022). He approaches choreography as an equally conceptual and material form, drawing from a pool of multidisciplinary interests.
