Geoffrey Watson is an artist whose practice is rooted in dance but frequently wanders into other disciplines and art forms like a stray cat looking for something to eat. His work as a performer and costume/set designer has been recognised by the Greenroom awards, receiving “Best Performer” in dance in 2023 and multiple nominations in visual design, technical achievement, and performance. His visual artwork has been exhibited at Liverpool Powerhouse, Melbourne Fashion Week, Virgin Australian Fashion Festival, and Temperance Hall. 

Geoffrey has worked with dance choreographers and companies within and beyond Australia, including longstanding relationships with Nana Biluš Abaffy, Lucy Guerin Inc., and Alisdair Macindoe, as well as performances for Gekidan Kaitaisha (Japan), Hermann Nitsch (Austria), and The Australian Ballet. Geoffrey’s collaborations as costume/set designer include Chambermade, BalletLab, Lilian Steiner, Tra Mi Dinh, Lucy Guerin Inc., Benjamin Hurley, and Amber McCartney.

Geoffrey’s choreographic works include “Camel” (Next Wave Festival), “Geoffrey’s Corpse” (Uferstudios, Berlin), and “Rachael Wisby” (The Substation, Pieces programme). His work in this area has merited significant fellowships, including the Tanja Liedtke Fellowship (2019), the Chloe Monroe Fellowship (2023), and residencies at Temperance Hall, Lucy Guerin Inc., and Chunky Move. His new work, "The Story Of The Hare", recently underwent its first development through an Artist in Residence position at Temperance Hall.
