DV8 Physical Theatre is a physically integrated dance company based at Artsadmin in London, United Kingdom.
It founded in 1986 by an independent collective of chiefly modern dancers. It led by Lloyd Newson, whose intent has been to have a different approach to most contemporary dance than other existing companies. In particular, the company has been known to incorporate dancers with disabilities into its pieces. The company has produced 17 dance pieces, which have toured internationally, and four award-winning films for television.
V8 Physical Theatre's work is about taking risks, aesthetically and physically, about breaking down the barriers between dance and theatre and communicating ideas and feelings clearly and unpretentiously. Great emphasis placed on the process by which new work is created.
DV8's work inherently questions the traditional aesthetics and forms which pervade both modern and classical dance and attempts to push beyond the values they reflect to enable discussion of wider and more complex issues.
