Luca Silvestrini’s Protein
About Protein
Formed in 1997 and currently one of the most distinctive voices in British dance theatre,
Protein uses a blend of original choreography, humour and music to entertain and provoke
audiences. Artistic Director Luca Silvestrini's desire to connect theatrical experience with
real life stories results in witty shows, both on- and off-stage, that reflect the absurdity in
everyday situations and experiences. Driven by his concern for the human condition and
drive to communicate contemporary dance to a wider public, Protein has carved out new
territory in which to develop, present and experience dance theatre.
Protein has toured throughout the United Kingdom and internationally, with performances in
Italy, Spain, Denmark, Switzerland, France, Germany, Croatia, Malta, Czech Republic,
Holland, Canada and the USA. Its recent production LOL (lots of love), inspired by the
culture of online relationships, toured to the Middle East, Croatia, Russia, Italy, Poland,
Slovenia, Colombia, Thailand and India. It was nominated for Outstanding Achievement in
Dance at Theatre Awards UK 2011; and Best Modern Choreography and Outstanding
Female Performance (Modern) at the National Dance Awards 2011, when Protein was
awarded Best Independent Company. Its current show, Border Tales, is currently showing
at The Place, London.
It is Company in Residence at Greenwich Dance and a Yorkshire Dance Partner, and in
2012 it became a National Portfolio Organisation of Arts Council England.
