Billy Cowie is a Scottish artist/choreographer

He is currently touring a series of five stereoscopic installations, In the Flesh (winner of the IMZ Delegates Award 2008), The Revery Alone, Ghosts in the Machine, t'es pas la seule and Tango de Soledad.

‘The quirky, lyrical, imaginative, arresting, romantic fantasies of Billy Cowie deeply impressed me.’ 
Mikhail Baryshnikov

‘another wonderful work from Billy Cowie, Tango de Soledad is short, tender and melancholic. It is danced by Amy Hollingsworth with truth and simplicity. You just want to see it again, right away.’
Emma Gladstone, Producer Sadler's Wells

‘the installation is full of passion and poetry… a brilliant dancer in a new universe’
Christina Molander, Director Moderna Dansteatern, Stockholm

‘The work gets better and better, deeper and deeper’
Bob Lockyer

‘Seldom do we get something that exceeds on all levels, gorgeous.’
Lynette Kestler, Director Dance Camera West LA

‘Absolutely beautiful – moving, deeply yet without sentimentality – vulnerable without rawness . Leaves a soft melancholy and a memory of a fantastically strong woman’s presence.’
Helene Lesterine, Dance Curator EMPAC, New York State

He works principally in the area of dance/theatre performance, screen dance and installation. He has made over twenty live performance pieces (in collaboration with Liz Aggiss) for the company Divas Dance Theatre which has toured Europe extensively and he has completed five major screen projects (two BBC Dance for Camera commissions and two ACE Capture projects and a Channel 4 commission). He has created commissioned work for 'Extemporary Dance Theatre',' Mantis', 'Transitions', 'Intoto', 'Carousel' and 'Hi Spin'. A book about this work entitled 'Anarchic Dance' was published by Routledge in January 2006.

He is currently Principal Research Fellow at the University of Brighton..
