A Royal Jubilee, Message In A Bottle, and Riot Games: Oliver Andrews' Masterclass

Choreography by Oliver Andrews

Few performers can say they've moved between a national celebration, a piece of dance theatre, and a global gaming stage — all in the same career. Oliver Andrews has. He performed in Message In A Bottle, the acclaimed dance theatre production, brought his choreography to Kylie Minogue and Jesy Nelson, and contributed to major international projects including Riot Games and The Queen's Platinum Jubilee — three genuinely different worlds, none of them treated as a side note.

That range is exactly what makes Andrews difficult to categorise, and exactly why it translated so directly into his masterclass at The Manor LDN. Performing inside a narrative dance production demands a different instinct than choreographing for a pop artist, which demands something different again from work built for a global brand or a royal occasion — and Andrews has proven himself across all three without any of them feeling like a stretch. His credits also include the Joy Awards and the MOBO Awards, rounding out a résumé that spans performance, choreography, and creative direction in equal measure.

Bringing that breadth into a single class gave dancers at The Manor LDN something genuinely rare: a session shaped by someone who's had to adapt his craft to entirely different contexts, repeatedly, at a consistently high level — proof of exactly the calibre of choreographer this studio keeps making room for.
