Ella Mesma Company

We Create Magic Experiences using a Diverse Range of Folkloric Dance Styles & Aerial silks

Ella Mesma Company is a British based dance theatre company drawing upon a diverse range of folkloric dance styles to create highly-skilled theatre.

Much of the company’s inspiration is borne out of the Company Director’s diverse training in Afro-Latin, Breaking and Contemporary dance. as well as the diverse skills that each individual company member brings to Ela Mesma Company.

We strive to create beautiful, inspiring diaspora dance theatre to allow transformation through the honouring of our values and the telling of personal and global stories. This supports us to connect to our truest selves and to create powerful, personal and political work that also is in resonance with Mother Earth works in harmony with the planet. Where possible we try to use recycled materials and minimise our carbon footprint.

We want to tell the stories that we didn’t see growing up, on stage, using the styles we love to dance to, as told by our diverse and brilliant cast.
