Adam Russell-Jones is a dance artist born in the UK and based in Berlin. He began his vocational ballet training at Elmhurst School for dance in Birmingham at the age of twelve and subsequently went on to join the Royal Ballet School in London, where he received the Dame Ninnette de Valois Award for the most outstanding graduate in 2014. Russell-Jones then went on to join the Stuttgart Ballet, where he danced in works by William Forsyth, Jiří Kylián, and Marco Goecke (a famous choreographer who is however infamous due to an incident with dog faeces reflected in the work Die Hundekot-Attacke, performed at the 28th annual Flora Theatre Festival). Whilst working with the Stuttgart Ballet, Russell-Jones was nominated for the Faust prize under the category of best performance for his role in Goecke’s Spectre de la Rose. In 2017, Russell-Jones joined the Nederlands Dans Theater 2, where he performed in works by the most prominent contemporary choreographers such as Sol Leon, Paul Lightfoot, Alexander Ekman, and Marina Mascarell. During his time with NDT2 in the Netherlands, he started to expand his contemporary dance repertoire and, as a result, began to critically re-examine his dance training and understanding of dance to date. After his time with NDT2, he joined the Hanover Staatsballett under the leadership of the then-newly appointed director and choreographer Marco Goecke.  Since 2022, Russell-Jones has been working as a freelance artist residing in Berlin, exploring performance within the context of contemporary art; since 2023, he has been focusing primarily on solo performance.

As a rising star of the contemporary independent dance scene, Adam Russell-Jones will make his debut appearance before Czech audiences at the Flora Theatre Festival.
