About me
Jamaal Burkmar is a graduate from the Northern School for Contemporary Dance and a product of the ACE youth dance system, where he began his journey back in 2005.During his time as an undergraduate, Jamaal flourished as an artist and enjoyed great success particularly with his first piece of work, Ocean, which was choreographed in his second year. The excitement generated by this piece was instantaneous and led it to being performed seven times that year in various venues across the North of England, before then being reworked on Verve, the postgraduate company of NSCD. This commission marked the first time an undergraduate had been given the opportunity to work with the company and led to Ocean being toured across the UK and Europe alongside 3 other works by Lea Anderson, Ben Duke and Goddard/Nixon, to rapturous applause almost everywhere it went.
Also in 2013, Jamaal was commissioned by ACE dance and music to create a piece on their youth group, to be showcased in both Birmingham and Nottingham. Once performed his work would then also form part of the future repertoire for the young dancers.
Most recently, Jamaal awarded the New Adventures Choreography Awarded with the showcase being performed in London in 2016.
