Gabriel Anderson

Birmingham Royal Ballet: First Artist (2016-present)

Born: London

Trained: The Royal Ballet School

Joined: 2016; First Artist, 2023

Proudest experience on stage: Dying onstage as Paris at the end of Romeo and Juliet after having the pleasure and honour of dancing with former Principal Nao Sakuma as Juliet.

Most important role: The creation and performances of Didy Veldman’s Sense of Time was a massive highlight for me – she was so much fun to work with and I enjoyed every show.

What would you be if you weren’t a dancer: A freelance photographer and illustrator or jewellery maker
