Choreographer | Creative Director | Educator

Brian Gillespie is a globally renowned choreographer, creative director and educator native to Ireland and currently based between London and Dubai (The United Arab Emirates). He is the director of B-Hybrid Dance (2012) and produces pioneering contemporary and commercial works that are accessible to every eye and mind. He later founded B-Hybrid Creatives - a creative consultancy for all things movement that provides access to some of the world’s top Choreographers and Creatives. Both of these companies now sit under the umbrella ‘B-Hybrid World’.

By focussing on the hybrid of influences, experiences, and interests that have sculpted both himself and his company members, Brian transcends technique to create a movement style that is less of a 'fusion' and more of an honest and human way of moving. 

B-Hybrid World creates works internationally for stage, film, TV and commercial events/projects.

After paving a creative career in the UK for many years, Brian has found himself to be particularly sought after as a Creative Director and Choreographer in the Middle-East. The region, although steeped in movement and culture historically, is relatively new to choreography and dance as a performing art. Brian has enjoyed spearheading the world of choreography and dance by creating some of the largest productions across Dubai (UAE), Qatar and Saudi Arabia over the past 4 years.

As an educator, Brian has taught in the world’s most prestigious studios and universities. He also founded IncluDancers - a company that focuses on movement for those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (aka People of Determination). IncluDancers also provides training courses and workshops to educators, therapists and artists on how to make their everyday practices inclusive and creative.
