Harriet Macauley has worked professionally as a choreographer and dancer in Spain, Turkey, Denmark, Austria, Italy, Germany, Scotland, USA, Ireland, Canada, United Kingdom, Portugal and numerous other international cities. 

Her interest lies in the rediscovery of the aesthetic intention and therefore the dancer becomes more than an expression of shape or form. Harriet’s choreographic works are an explosion of cultural identity, coupled with ethnicity, and her process of creative investigation strives to find truth and value with the use of stylistic and cultural movement forms which originate from identity. Moreover Harriet’s process in creation goes beyond the recreation of movement or shape, instead her movement is explored through a development of fertile forms, which are channelled through contrasting movement styles prevalent in popular, cultural and commercial dance of today. 

Accomplished through on-going investigations in site-specific and dramaturgical examination her interpretations are fluid, charismatic and compelling, energised through the use of electronic, commercial and contemporary sound scores. A trademark to her choreographic style is the exploration of the dancer’s essence, personality, appearance and ancestry, energetically propelled through the use of  technology. Her practice is empowered through a vigorous collaborative investigation submerged into an expression of pure authenticity. 

Her advancement for collaborative investigation with dancers, photographers, composers, dramaturgists, multimedia artists and so forth, continues to bolster on a trajectory of on-going international partnerships, in Europe and beyond. 

Her professional experience encompasses contemporary, Jazz and neo-classical ballet dance techniques having trained at London Contemporary Dance School London, SUNY Purchase Conservatory of Dance, New York, Richard Alston Dance Company and having worked with Sharon Wray at the Royal Opera House, London. 

Director of InDance International & Event InDance Barcelona, her vision is rooted in the core of the organisation’s ability to navigate through international collaboration, coupled with a passion for talented graduates of the performing arts. 

She founded Harriet Macauley & Company in 2020, to support professional dancers on the development of screen dance as a result of restrictions with COVID19. 

Since recieving an invitation to undertake the role of Lecturer in Dance Studies in 2016 at the Institute of the Arts Barcelona, Sitges, Harriet has begun to discover the depths of talent residing in a diverse and multicultural city.
