ESD Presents Robert Cohan ✨

From 28 July to 02 August, ESD Presents Robert Cohan was a vibrant celebration of the iconic choreographer, teacher, and visionary. Presented in partnership with the Sir Robert Cohan Dance Legacy, the event honoured Cohan’s enduring influence on British contemporary dance.

Hosted for the first time at Dance City, the week offered a rare opportunity for participants to engage with the principles and methods that shaped Cohan’s revolutionary approach to movement.

With generous funding from the Abderrahim Crickmay Charitable Settlement @accharitablesettlement and support from Dance City @dance_city_newcastle , the event featured esteemed Cohan teachers Anne Donnelly and Kenneth Tharp @kennetholumuyiwatharp, whose guidance and insight were central to the programme.

More than a tribute, this gathering created a powerful space for intergenerational exchange—connecting dancers across ages and backgrounds in shared exploration of Cohan’s work. It was a week of learning, inspiration, and legacy-building. This event also supported the re-staging of Eclipse (1961) by Robert Cohan for Eliot Smith Dance @eliotsmithdance repertoire.

Thank you to EVERYONE who made it possible.

📅 Save the date: The next event will take place from 26–31 July 2027 in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Dance Celebrant to be announced in autumn 2026.

The culmination of ESD Presents Robert Cohan ✨ captured from the wings…

Last night’s Gala Performance at Dance City @dance_city_newcastle was an unforgettable tribute to Sir Robert Cohan CBE — celebrating his vision, influence, and lasting legacy in British contemporary dance.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us, to the extraordinary intensive dancers, youth dancers of Newcastle Dance Centre @newcastledancecentre, community dancers, who brought Cohan’s work to life, and to the many people behind the scenes who made the evening so special.

It was an honour to premiere Eclipse (1961) with Eliot Smith Dance (@eliotsmithdance), performed stunningly by Yamit Salazar @yamit_salazar and Amy Becke @amy_becke restaged by Anne Donnelly.

Thank you to Yorke Dance Project @yorkedanceproject for presenting Cohan’s Portraits and to our panelist chaired by Paul Jackson @pauljackson65. Thank you to our amazing musicians, and the technical team at Dance City.

Cohan’s spirit was truly present — his legacy lives on.

We gratefully acknowledge the support of the Sir Robert Cohan Dance Legacy, Dance City, the Abderrahim Crickmay Charitable Settlement @accharitablesettlement, Yorke Dance Project, Chester Music, Geoffrey Burgon Foundation @burgonfoundation, thank you to EVERYONE who helped make this Gala Performance possible.

A heartfelt thank you to Anne Donnelly, Kenneth Tharp @kennetholumuyiwatharp, Roy Vestrich, Linda Gibbs, and Angela Reay.
