Liz Aggiss Biography

Liz Aggiss is one of the most popular and richest Choreographer who was born on May 28, 1953 in Dagenham, England, United Kingdom.

Liz Aggiss (born 28 May 1953) is a British live artist, dance performer, choreographer and film maker. Her work is inspired by early 20th century Ausdruckstanz (Expressionist dance), in particular the Grotesque dance of Valeska Gert, and by British Music Hall and Variety acts such as the eccentric dance performers, Max Wall and Wilson, Keppel and Betty. She is often described as the ‘grand dame of anarchic dance’.

Aggiss’s first experience of dance was in 1970, when she studied Rudolph von Laban’s modern educational dance in the UK. After a teacher training course in Keele, she ‘had various jobs teaching PE teachers how to teach dance.’ In 1980, she went to New York to study contemporary dance. After a summer ‘studio hopping’ from Graham to Cunningham to whatever else she fancied’ she found the Alwin Nikolais and Murray Louis Dance Theatre Lab, where she felt she belonged. Until 1982, Aggiss trained with the Lab’s lead teacher, the German expressionist Hanya Holm, in New York and in Colorado Springs. Back in the UK, Aggiss studied eccentric dance with Joan and Barry Grantham, ‘possibly the last remaining living link with the early twentieth century UK Music Hall and Variety world.’

Divas’ first piece wasTorei en Vern Veta Arnold!, which premiered at the Chisenhale Dance Space London on 4 October 1986. In the show, eight dancers, in suits and high heels, used pedestrian, habitual and repetitive gestures. Looking back in 1993, Sophie Constanti described Divas as a ‘crew of besuited, stiletto wearing Brighton women, whose otherwise unconventional appearance was intensified by the scowling, hard-edge non-conformity of Aggiss’s brand of movement theatre.’ Constanti also reviewed the show at the time: ‘Jaunty, hypnotic, silently provocative and defiant, Divas are a refreshing assault on mainstream dance.’

In 1986, Brighton’s Zap Arts commissioned Aggiss and Cowie to create a solo piece to be performed in the single arch of the Zap Club. The work Grotesque Dancer was inspired by Aggiss’s discovery of Valeska Gert, the most extreme and subversive of the German expressionist dancers. Wearing the uniform of a German gymnast, Aggiss, in a single spotlight, performed a series of short expressionist vignettes accompanied by cabaret-style songs, instrumentals and poems.
