Ella Tighe

Ella Tighe Headshot

Ella Tighe is a Bradford based independent dance artist. She makes work that is bold, intuitive and assertive. It aims to champion undervalued forms of dance, through exposing alternative movement languages and physicality’s than that of typical contemporary dance training. Her practice is eclectic. She began dancing as a Disco Freestyle dancer before a contemporary dance, improvisation and somatic based practice training. She has a BA in Dance, Making & Performance (Cov Uni, UK) and an MA in Performance Practices (ArtEZ, NL). Ella is developing a new work Disco Queen, an autobiographical dance-theatre solo that will explore her experience as a Disco Freestyle dancer.

Alongside her making practice Ella teaches yoga, curates BOLD! Bradford Artist Scratch Night, an artist development initiative in Bradford and is an independent supervisor at Bird College. Recently she has performed and facilitated workshops for Flux Dance Theatre and Balbir Singh Dance Company.

Regarding the Artist Advisory Group, Ella had this to say:

“I’m excited to get stuck into the Artist Advisory Group and looking forward to having dialogue with Yorkshire Dance about how to move forwards and support the dance sector further.”
