BIO
Lewis Walker is a London-born queer, non-binary movement artist. A former Great Britain gymnast and Acrobatic Gymnastics World Champion, they trained from age 6 to 21 before earning a degree in Contemporary Dance. Their work spans theatre, film, fashion, music, and the commercial sector. Walker continues to choreograph gymnastics competition routines for the Great Britain, Italian and French national teams.
Their creative vision and dynamic movement style have led to collaborations across film, music, fashion and contemporary art, including Tim Walker, Yorgos Lanthimos, ANOHNI, Tirzah, Horsegiirl, BULLYACHE, Burberry, Calvin Klein, UNTITLAB, and the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA).
They are currently touring a solo show, bornsick, commissioned by Serpentine and EAF.
Beyond performance, Walker is dedicated to teaching movement as a tool for accessing deeper states of consciousness and developing a deeper understanding of consensual touch. Their Connecting to Improv workshop explores dance improvisation as a ritual of shared movement and expression, while MOVE HYPNO, a collaboration with hypnotherapist Michele Occelli, blends movement and hypnotherapy for personal transformation.
Walker is currently a Studio Wayne McGregor RESIDENT 6 artist-in-residence.
