Tim Darbyshire

From Sweet and Tender

Tim Darbyshire hails from Australia. In 1992 he joined his father in a mid-life crisis by participating in a rock musical about a schizophrenic woman. Activities such as this continued throughout his childhood and avoided teenage years. He was later formally educated at Queensland University of Technology and found a Bachelor of Creative Industries (Dance). He then lived in Melbourne where he made many a coffee and learned how to pour a beer. Aside from this he worked on his premiere independent performance creation entitled Room Service. He found himself still engaged in contemporary dance as a DanceWEBBER (Impulstanz 2006) and at Centre Nationale de Danse Contemporaine (France), where he adopted various methods of creation and practice by working with choreographers Vera Mantero, Emmanuelle Huyhn and Shelley Senter amongst others. Recently he has been working in France, Portugal and Norway within the collaborative framework of Sweet and Tender Collaborations. He has been developing a solo work entitled Buckets and Other Things as well as working as a performer for a new creation by David Wampach and Meg Stuarts re-creation of Running. In 2008 he performed in two pieces created by Marianne Baillot and António Júlio for Portuguese Companhia Instável (Unstable Company). He will work again with this company in 2009 and with French Choreographer David Wampach.
