We’re really pleased to share that Eckhard Thiemann has been appointed Chair of the Board of Trustees at DeNada Dance Theatre.

Eckhard brings extensive experience across the sector, with leadership roles spanning The Lowry, Shubbak Festival and CODA Oslo International Dance Festival. His appointment comes at an important point for the company, as it continues to grow its reach and develop new work, including *Edward II*.

As long-standing collaborators, it’s been a privilege for us at Spin Arts to support Carlos Pons Guerra and the company’s journey. We’re looking forward to seeing what this next phase makes possible.

Eckhard shared:
“I am delighted to be joining DeNada at such an exciting moment. The company has built a powerful reputation for bold, theatrical and deeply engaging work that resonates with audiences. I look forward to supporting Carlos and the team to strengthen the company’s foundations, broaden its reach and connect with ever wider audiences, while staying true to its distinctive artistic voice.”

Carlos adds:
‘I have always valued Eckhard’s support and keen artistic insight. I have also admired his excellent work in creating programmes and curating festivals that voice the underrepresented; these often include queerness and transculturality- which is exactly what DeNada is about. I am very excited a about the next three years ahead, and this new adventure we’re embarking on. I’m confident that with Eckhard at the helm we will reach great new heights of impact, dancing, and of course, flashes of sequins. ¡Vámonos!’

From us at Spin Arts:
“Having supported DeNada from its origins, we look forward to welcoming Eckhard as Chair of the Board and to this new chapter for the company. Eckhard’s sector expertise is the perfect catalyst to help us orchestrate DeNada’s growth, ensuring the company’s work continues to reach new audiences and leave a lasting impact within the communities we serve.”

Welcome, Eckhard.

I find posts like this hard to share, but I really appreciate that being nominated for an award means someone took their precious time to explain why they felt we should be. So it feels right to acknowledge that and say thank you.

I’m really happy to have been nominated for a One Dance UK, Dance Changemaker Award.

It means a lot. None of us do this work for recognition, but it is lovely to know the impact is felt by someone.

Big love to everyone we get to collaborate with, learn from, and be inspired by every day.

Behind the magic of RIDE! was a huge family of people working tirelessly to keep us safe and deliver a world-class show.

From the staging, sound, lighting and AV teams… to the set builders, fabricators, riggers and safety crews… to those who supplied fencing, flooring, kit, fabrics and even medical cover - every single one of you played a vital part in bringing this dream to life. 🙌

Massive thanks to our incredible suppliers and brilliant crew:

Reverse Triangle, Raven Staging, Will Power, Sound and Light UK, DBN Audile, Tube Audio, AV Matrix, Garriets, Controlled Space, J&C Joel, Yorkshire Fence Hire, Arran Sheet Metals, Event Hire UK, Whaleys Bradford, MedEvent, Olympus… plus - Connor Craig, Sam Mitchell, Tom Kendal, Jacky McShane, Robin Dark, Hadi Hedayati - and the unstoppable Bradford 2025 volunteers. 🌟

And an extra special thanks to Martin Clarke, Production Manager at Reverse Triangle, for steering it all with such skill, calm, and care. That beaming smile and those massive hugs that greeted us every single day kept us all going.

This show simply couldn’t have happened without you all. Thank you for your passion, your craft, your patience, and your heart.
