Kenneth Tindall is an international freelance Choreographer and Director, specialising in full length narrative ballet. A former principal dancer, his first full length ballet Casanova received much critical acclaim and standing ovations throughout its UK tour, including a sell-out week as Sadler’s Wells which led to its filming and broadcast on Sky Arts.

With his first professional commission Kenneth won the Production Prize at the 26^th International Choreographic Competition in Hanover. He has gone on to choreograph nationally and internationally, working with an extensive list of creatives. He has been nominated for several high profile awards including Best Classical Choreographer and Emerging Artist at the National Dance Awards and became the recipient of the Outstanding Achievement in a new Dance Production at the Broadway World UK Awards 2017.

Kenneth won the Audience Award at 2019 Genesis Choreographic competition for Milwaukee ballet. In 2020 he was a guest judge at English National Ballet’s Emerging dancer competition alongside fellow industry experts. Kenneth has been nominated for the 'Best Classical Choreography' at the National Dance Awards numerous times, including a double nomination in 2021 for his critically acclaimed full length ‘Geisha’ and ‘The Shape of Sound’.

Kerry Muzzey is a film and modern classical composer whose music can be heard on the stage as well as the big and small screens: most recently in the orchestral score for the new television version of Jane Austen’s “Sense & Sensibility.”

Kerry is also thrilled to have just released the complete symphonic score to the ballet “Casanova,” recorded in Budapest in the summer of 2023 with the Budapest Art Orchestra, and is now available on all streaming services and in a deluxe 2-CD set through Amazon. His past scores include the just-released documentary “Studio One Forever,” the documentary “Look & See: A Portrait of Wendell Berry” from executive producers Robert Redford and Terrence Malick; “Hole in the Paper Sky,” the first film from Jessica Biel’s production company Iron Ocean Films; and “To Russia With Love,” the Sundance Films documentary executive-produced by Oscar nominee Howard Gertler of “How to Survive a Plague.” But this mostly-orchestral composer is probably best known for a quiet little piano piece called “Looking Back” that found its way into the hit TV series “GLEE” as a recurring love theme for the show’s two most beloved couples, Rachel & Finn and Will & Emma, and for his music used on FOX’s hit series “So You Think You Can Dance.”

In 2014, Kerry recorded a collection of works for string orchestra called “The Architect,” which would later become the musical foundation for Kenneth Tindall’s ballet “Casanova.”
