Jonathan Goddard (born 12 December 1979).[1] is a British dancer, movement director and choreographer.
He is best known for his multi award-winning career in British contemporary dance; most notably his performances with Richard Alston Dance Company, Rambert, Mark Bruce Company and collaborations with Ballerina Natalia Osipova.
Performing Career
Jonathan has worked for most major British dance companies. In 1999, he joined Scottish Dance Theatre[2] under the artistic direction of Janet Smith before returning to London in 2002 to work with Richard Alston Dance Company[3]. During his time with Alston he was nominated for numerous awards, including an Olivier Award nomination for Outstanding Achievement in Dance[4], and went on to be the first contemporary dancer to win Best Male Dancer at the Critics' Circle National Dance Awards in 2007[5] [6]. He joined Rambert in 2008 creating and performing work by Christopher Bruce, Merce Cunningham, Aletta Collins, Mark Baldwin, Javier de Frutos, Itzik Galili, Tim Rushton, Henri Oguike, Siobhan Davies among others[7]. Since leaving Rambert in 2013, he became a member of New Movement Collective and has been a consultant tutor at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London [8] [9].
He created the title role of Dracula (Mark Bruce Company) winning the Southbank Sky Arts Award for Dance[10] in 2013, and both Best Dancer and Outstanding Performance categories at the Critics' Circle National Dance Awards the year after.[11]
In 2015 he began a collaboration with choreographer Sir Robert Cohan CBE[12] which continued until Cohan's death in 2021[13] [14].
In 2016 he performed with The Royal Ballet for Les Enfants Terrible at the Barbican[15].
He began a performing partnership with Natalia Osipova[16] in 2018, for Pure Dance at Sadler's Wells performing Flutter[17], a duet for Osipova and Goddard choreographed by Ivan Perez. In 2019 he collaborated again with Osipova on a full-length production, The Mother[18], choreographed by Arthur Pita, winning Outstanding Performance[19] in the Critics' Circle later that year.
Jonathan was also part of the Night of 100 Solos: A Centennial Event[20] by the Merce Cunningham Trust, an evening of performances staged between London[21], New York and Los Angeles to celebrate what would have been the choreographer's 100th Birthday.
Jonathan's most recent performances includes Clorinda Agonistes[22] for Shobana Jeyasingh and Phaedra and Minotaur[23] directed by Deborah Warner and choreographed by Kim Brandstrup.
