Episode 4- Charlotte Edmonds

Charlotte Edmonds Unusually, Charlotte Edmonds began her career as a professional choreographer while still a teenager. The RAD spotted her talent for making dance when she was just 18: she was Commissioned Choreographer for the RAD’s Genée International Ballet Competition (now named The Fonteyn) in 2015, and also became The Royal Ballet’s inaugural young choreographer. She continues to navigate a varied freelance career, often making her own creative opportunities.  About Charlotte Edmonds  Charlotte Edmonds is a choreographer, dancer and filmmaker.
