The Cholmondeleys were a London-based, all-female contemporary dance company, described by Arts Council England as "one of the leading contemporary dance companies in Britain," presenting work that "is diverse, witty and instantly recognisable."[1] Formed in 1984, the company was disbanded in 2011.
The Cholmondeleys were formed by Lea Anderson (later Artistic Director/Choreographer), Teresa Barker and Gaynor Coward in 1984 after they graduated from the Laban Centre for Movement and Dance (today Trinity Laban).[2]
In 1988, Anderson established an all-male company The Featherstonehaughs.
In 2011, both companies were reported to be disbanding at the end of the year, due to the loss of Arts Council grants.[3]
Works choreographed by Anderson for The Cholmondeleys include:
