Charlotte Edmonds is a choreographer and filmmaker whose work fuses classical technique with a cinematic, emotionally driven approach to contemporary dance and film. She trained at The Royal Ballet School and Rambert School, and holds a Master’s in Choreography from Central School of Ballet. 

Breaking ground early in her career, Charlotte became The Royal Ballet’s Inaugural Young Choreographer. Since then, her work has been characterised by a commitment to exploring complex social and emotional perspectives across stage and screen. She has created classical and contemporary works internationally for leading institutions including The Royal Ballet, Bayerisches Staatsballett, Dutch National Ballet, Northern Ballet, Opera Holland Park, Norwegian National Ballet Ung, Studio Wayne McGregor and Yorke Dance Project, alongside extensive work with major training institutions such as The Place, Rambert Dance Company, Dance Arts Faculty, Rambert School, The Royal Ballet School, Dance East and Birmingham Hippodrome.

Alongside her stage practice, Charlotte works as a director and movement director across film, music, and broadcast, collaborating with artists such as Jehnny Beth, Gretel, Lola Young, and Duran Duran, and with platforms including BBC Arts and Nowness. Her interdisciplinary approach has also led to collaborations with cultural institutions such as Sotheby’s, Gazelli Art House, and Soho House, as well as global brands including Nike x Spotify, Dove, The Beaumont, Budweiser, Burberry, and Belstaff.

Charlotte is a Clore Fellow (2019), part of a distinguished leadership development programme for an exceptional cohort of cultural sector leaders.
