Mark Bruce Company wins Sky Arts South Bank Award

Posted on January 27, 2014

Mark Bruce Company’s Dracula has won the Sky Arts South Bank Award for Dance. Choreographed by Mark Bruce, the show starred Jonathan Goddard as the vampire count.

On receiving the award from Darcey Bussell, Bruce said: “Being honoured in a room full of creatives and artists makes this even more special. I’d like to thank our partners Tobacco Factory Theatres, Pavilion Dance South West and Wilton’s Music Hall. Without them, we could not have made Dracula.”

After a sold-out UK tour in 2013, Dracula will rise again this year, touring from September to December 2014.
