London Contemporary
Dance Theatre (LCDT)

The London Contemporary Dance Theatre (LCDT) was founded in 1967 by Robin Howard with Robert Cohan as artistic director. Established at The Place in London, the school and performing company quickly became the epicentre of a burgeoning British modern dance movement. Cohan's work formed the backbone of the repertory, but he encouraged others to choreograph too, notably Richard Alston and Siobhan Davies, who both went on to become defining figures in British contemporary dance.
