About us

Company of Others is a dance theatre company based in the North East of England, led by Artistic Director and Choreographer Nadia Iftkhar.

We collaborate with people who have experience of being ‘othered’ by the society we live in, to co-create dance theatre experiences which highlight and share stories of the human experience through their lens.

Artistry, Equity & Integrity are our values.

To learn more about what is important to us, and how we work, read the The Foundations, and The Light.  The Foundations is our Diversity & Equity Policy and Action Plan, and can be found here: The FoundationsThe Light is our Artistic Policy and Action Plan, and can be found here: The Light
